Source Intelligence

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.

Automatic Sonnet 4.5 → Sonnet 4.6 Migration

What

Users whose model setting references claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 (or its [1m] extended-thinking variant) are automatically migrated to sonnet (or sonnet[1m]). A notification "Model updated to Sonnet 4.6" is shown briefly after the migration.

Details
  • Applies only to first-party (claude.ai-authenticated) users on Pro, Max, or Team plans
  • Extended thinking mode ([1m]) is preserved during migration
  • Users who have already started at least one session will see the notification; brand-new users will not
Evidence

Sonnet 4.5 to 4.6 migration (search for "tengu_sonnet45_to_46_migration" and "Model updated to Sonnet 4.6")

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