Opus 4.6 Model Label Updated
EntryKind: in v2.1.78,
ChangesSection of the release
The model picker label for Opus 4.6 no longer shows the [NEW] tag, reflecting that it's now the established default model.
Evidence
String change — old: "Opus 4.6 with 1M context [NEW]" → new: "Opus 4.6 with 1M context"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
