Claude Code separates model choice from effort
Anthropic exposes model selection and effort level as different controls for capability, token use, latency, and persistence.
Signal contract
- Anthropic exposes model selection and effort level as different controls for capability, token use, latency, and persistence.
- Agent routing is becoming a multidimensional runtime decision rather than a single model dropdown, making task-aware cost controls more practical.
- Novelty: notable. Verification: source-inspected.
