v2.1.68

Mar 4, 2026
Anthropic/Claude CodeCLIv2.1.68

What's changed

  • Opus 4.6 now defaults to medium effort for Max and Team subscribers. Medium effort works well for most tasks — it's the sweet spot between speed and thoroughness. You can change this anytime with /model
  • Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
  • Removed Opus 4 and 4.1 from Claude Code on the first-party API — users with these models pinned are automatically moved to Opus 4.6
