What's Wrong?

Why there is only an option for the 1M Opus 4.7, I dont want that. Before I was using 4.6 with 200K token window. That option is not listed anymore in the settings with the newest extension.

What Should Happen?

Give the option to use opus model with smaller context window

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by revisiting the model settings to potentially uncover hidden or deprecated options for smaller context windows.

Guidance

  • Review the extension's settings and documentation for any changes or deprecations related to Opus models and context window sizes.
  • Check if there are any alternative models or configurations that can achieve the desired smaller context window.
  • Consider reaching out to the developers or community for clarification on the removal of the 4.6 model with a 200K token window.
  • Verify if the issue persists across different platforms or environments to rule out any system-specific factors.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to configuration and model selection.

Notes

The lack of information about the last working version and additional context makes it challenging to provide a definitive solution. The guidance provided is based on the assumption that the issue is related to changes in the extension's settings or model offerings.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should attempt to find alternative models or configurations that meet their requirements, as the specific option they are looking for is no longer available in the latest version.
