    Claude Code v2.1.126 Finally Trusts Your Model Gateway

    Claude Code now asks your configured ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL for /v1/models, so the model picker reflects the IDs your gateway actually exposes instead of a hardcoded Anthropic-only list. The episode breaks down why that matters for LiteLLM, Bedrock, and other proxies, plus the catch: the backend still has to return truthful model names or the client will pass them through verbatim.

    Claude Code’s Hidden Bedrock Cost Lever

    April 29, 2026 brought a small Claude Code update with big budget implications: the new ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_SERVICE_TIER setting lets Bedrock users choose default, flex, or priority and sends that choice as the X-Amzn-Bedrock-Service-Tier header.

    Claude Code Ultrareview Goes CI-Native

    We break down how ultrareview moved from an interactive slash command to a real CLI that can run in scripts, Make targets, and GitHub Actions as a potential build gate.
