Oh I didn't know you could type /model claude-opus-4-6 and still use it.

Thanks!

Yes, and /model claude-opus-4-6[1m] gets you the larger context window. Happy to help :)

  • Thanks for the hint, but is a large context window actually that useful? I tend to get garbage too often with a normal big context window.

    • IME, based on an in-house bench it's still good to about 20% on the 1M for 4.6 and 4.7 with a code base >50k loc. The trick I used before switching providers was to have it write a handoff when it hit ~18% of context and reset.

      There are also many people running 4.5 with specific parameters that claim to be having luck.
