DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Improved Error Messages for Large Files

Error messages for oversized PDFs and requests now include the actual size limits and suggest pdftotext as a specific alternative tool.

  • Old: "PDF too large. Try reading the file a different way (e.g., extract text with a CLI tool)."
  • New: "PDF too large (max N pages, Xmb). Try reading the file a different way (e.g., extract text with pdftotext)."
  • Old: "Request too large. Try with a smaller file."
  • New: "Request too large (max Xmb). Try with a smaller file."
Evidence

Improved error messages with limits (search for "PDF too large (" and "Request too large (")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
