The /model picker does not include newly released models, even though the CLI banner advertises them at startup.

Root Cause

The /model picker does not include newly released models, even though the CLI banner advertises them at startup.

Fix Action

Workaround

Setting "model": "claude-opus-4-8" in ~/.claude/settings.json works, but the picker should list all available models.

Description

The /model picker does not include newly released models, even though the CLI banner advertises them at startup.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a new Claude Code session (v2.1.156, Claude Team plan)
  2. Observe the startup banner: Opus 4.8 is now available! · /model to switch
  3. Type /model
  4. The picker list does not include Opus 4.8 (or previously, 4.7)

Expected Behavior

Models advertised in the startup banner should appear in the /model picker.

Actual Behavior

The picker omits the advertised model. This has happened consistently across multiple model releases (4.7 and now 4.8).

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.156
  • Plan: Claude Team
  • OS: Linux 6.17.0-29-generic
  • TUI mode: fullscreen

Workaround

Setting "model": "claude-opus-4-8" in ~/.claude/settings.json works, but the picker should list all available models.
