Models

Defaults to Claude Opus 5.5 on Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise, and the Anthropic API (Sonnet 4.5 on Microsoft Foundry). Switch with /model, claude --model, or ANTHROPIC_MODEL using the opus, sonnet, haiku, and fable aliases (Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Haiku 5.5, Fable 5.1 on the Anthropic API) or a full model name; Fable is never the default and must be picked explicitly.

Recent changes

• Sep 22v2.1.280 adds Claude Opus 5.5 as the default Opus model and moves the Pro and Team Standard default from Sonnet to Opus, matching Max, Team Premium, and Enterprise.
