It depends on your account and seems to be random.
On my personal Max 5x account it’s not default and if I force it, it says I’ll pay API rates past 200k. On my other account that I use for work (not an enterprise account just another regular Max 5x account) the 1M model has been the default since that rollout. I’ve tried updating and reinstalling etc, and I can’t ever get the 1M default model on my personal account.
Based on other comments and discussion online as well as Claude code repo issues, it seems I’m not the only one not getting the 1M model for whatever reason and the issue continues to be unresolved.
The idea is that the immutability of the operating system leads to greater stability. The partition should (in theory) be exactly as the distribution expects on every computer it’s installed to, which limits the potential for user changes breaking anything. The benefit to the user is that it’s a lot harder to shoot yourself in the foot by running the wrong script.
The issues have been described as login/logout, but I'm not sure that's all that's happening. In today's outage and the last the API stopped and kicked the session out.
I only mention this in case someone from Anthropic perhaps isn't aware that it seems to be a wider issue than login/logout (although I'm sure they are!)
You can use a picture of anyone's handwriting. There's high res pictures of medieval monks handwriting and so on that probably would be really cool as fonts.
At least up until recently the 1M model was separated into /model opus[1M]
