"New to this" keeps what the labs announced and the models they shipped, and hides the version bumps, retirement notices and outage reports. Nothing gets reworded either way.
The words the labs use
These turn up in the headlines above. The definitions are ours, the headlines are theirs.
- Model
- The thing that does the work, like GPT-6 or Claude Opus 5. Labs ship new ones constantly and give them version numbers, so "3.8" is a different model from "3.5", not a patch of it.
- Token
- How the labs count text for billing. Roughly three quarters of a word in English, so 1,000 words costs you about 1,333 tokens.
- Context window
- How much text a model can hold in its head at once, counted in tokens. A big window is what lets you paste a whole book in and ask about it.
- API
- The way a program talks to a model, as opposed to you typing into a chat box. It's billed per token, and it's a separate product from the monthly chat subscription.
- Deprecation
- A lab announcing that a model will stop working on a given date. If you built something on it, that date is your deadline.
- Changelog
- The running list of what changed in a piece of software, written by the people who changed it.
Nothing here was an announcement or a new model. Switch back to Everything to see what the labs did post.

Anthropic 4
claude-code 2.1.266
Fixed a 2.1.265 regression affecting LLM-gateway and proxy setups: the undocumented CLAUDE_CODE_USE_GATEWAY environment variable, previously ignored unless ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN were both set, began forcing Cloud-gateway sign-in on its own in 2.1.265, so configurations that set it alongside an API key, apiKeyHelper, or custom auth headers failed every request with "Not signed in to the Cloud gateway". The variable on its own is ignored again; no configuration change is needed
