Claude Code v2.1.177 drops experimental model

Anthropic has released Claude Code version 2.1.177, a minor patch for its terminal-based agentic coding tool that removes the experimental claude-codeI model. The update also introduces three new prompt files and increases the prompt token count by 6,137, suggesting internal updates to the agent's instructions.

// ANALYSIS

This version is a minor cleanup patch that streamlines the tool's CLI surface by removing obsolete or experimental models while quietly iterating on prompt configurations.

–Deprecates the experimental `claude-codeI` model from the CLI surface list to keep model offerings clean and relevant.
–Reflects Anthropic's continuous, rapid delivery cycle to iteratively tweak system prompts and internal logic.
–Focuses on CLI surface maintenance without introducing major consumer-facing features or new workflows.

Small Harness offers a lightweight framework for running local LLMs, with plans to introduce hybrid frontier-local orchestration optimized by VulcanBench.

Small Harness is a fast, transparent, open-source terminal harness designed to run local Large Language Models (LLMs) on local hardware. The creator, Morgan Linton, announced that the project will soon support hybrid workflows that connect frontier models for planning with local models for execution. Additionally, a tool called VulcanBench will be integrated to optimize when each model tier is utilized.
