Unclear It is not known whether the server is sending a recipe at the moment, so the row may not appear for anyone yet.

What

The model picker can now show an extra "mix" row. The row comes from a recipe that Anthropic's server sends, with a lead model, a worker model, a label and a description. A subagent is a helper Claude starts to work on part of a task, and picking the row sets CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL and CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL_FORCE, which choose the model those helpers use.

  • The row is ignored if you have already set those environment variables yourself.
  • A recipe that is not valid is ignored and noted in the log.
  • The model-mix settings also gain a description field.
Why

The server can offer a ready-made choice of models for subagents straight from the picker. Your own environment variables always win over it.
