Briefings
Anthropic released version 0.30 on September 28, 2026, adding the 'llm anthropic' command to refresh model lists via API and a new 'llm anthropic count' command using their free token counting API. This allows users to automatically update model information without manual releases and to preview token usage before sending prompts.
Key points
- The release includes a 'llm anthropic count' command that utilizes the free token counting API to estimate token usage for any prompt before execution.
- A new 'llm anthropic' command enables automatic refresh of the Anthropic models list directly from their API, eliminating the need for manual release pushes for new models.
Context
This update expands Anthropic's API capabilities, allowing developers to automate model discovery and usage estimation through new commands.
Limitations
The evidence is a single release note from September 2026. Specific model names beyond Claude Sonnet 5.5 are not listed. The free token counting API's accuracy and limitations are not detailed in the source.
