I had to double check that they'd removed the non-1M option, and... WTF? This is what's in `/config` → `model`

    1. Default (recommended)    Opus 4.6 with 1M context · Most capable for complex work
    2. Sonnet                   Sonnet 4.6 · Best for everyday tasks
    3. Sonnet (1M context)      Sonnet 4.6 with 1M context · Billed as extra usage · $3/$15 per Mtok
    4. Haiku                    Haiku 4.5 · Fastest for quick answers

So there's an option to use non-1M Sonnet, but not non-1M Opus?

Except wait, I guess that actually makes sense, because it says Sonnet 1M is billed as extra usage... but also WTF, why is Sonnet 1M billed as extra usage? So Opus 1M is included in Max, but if you want the worse model with that much context, you have to pay extra? Why the heck would anyone do that?

The screen does also say "For other/previous model names, specify with --model", so I assume you can use that to get 200K Opus, but I'm very confused why Anthropic wouldn't include that in the list of options.

What a strange UX decision. I'm not personally annoyed, I just think it's bizarre.

`/model opus` sets it to the original non-1M Opus... for now.

		Thanks. I quickly burned through $100 in credit when I started using Opus 4.6 in OpenCode via OpenRouter. My session stopped and was getting an error not representative of credit availability, so was surprised after a few minutes when I finally realized Opus just destroyed those credits on a bullshit reasoning loop it got stuck in. Anthropic seems to know that the expanded context is better for their bottom line as they've defaulted it now. And as others have said it's very easy to burn token usage on the $100/month plan. It's getting to the point where it's going to very much make sense to do model routing when using coding tooling.

		Not sure why you were downvoted because this is actually correct. Can also use --model opus
