A proxy that stripped one header was doubling Claude Code's API bill

Version 2.1.239 fixes streaming on Bedrock behind proxies that remove the response Content-Type header. Claude Code silently fell back to re-running every turn without streaming, and each turn was billed twice. The same release makes cost estimates show the 1.1× premium that data-residency workspaces pay.

PIN REMOVEDhttpx2llm 0.33 declares what it imports

llm 0.33 takes the pin out and moves to httpx2

Version 0.32.1 held fresh installs together by pinning the OpenAI Python package below 3.0.0. That was a holding action, and 0.33 does the actual repair: it upgrades to the OpenAI library 3.x and switches its HTTP client from httpx to httpx2. The release also carries changes you will notice in daily use, including a --key option on the embedding commands and server-side tool results that finally show up in llm logs.

BROKEN INSTALLhttpxllm 0.32.1 pins the OpenAI package
Toolsweak signal

A fresh install of llm broke because the OpenAI library stopped using httpx

Version 0.32.1 pins the OpenAI Python package below 3.0.0 so that new installations work again. Nothing in llm changed to cause the break: it imported httpx while relying on the OpenAI package to bring it along, and when that package dropped httpx the dependency simply stopped arriving. It is a small release with a lesson that outlives it.

Claude Code 2.1.238 stops memory growth in long sessions

The August 20 release fixes what got in the way during long stretches of work rather than adding features. Tool results returned by subagents are now freed as soon as they leave the recent-view window, so memory in long interactive sessions stops growing without a ceiling. The release also fixes custom output styles sliding back to the default tone mid-session, along with a run of stalls in Remote Control. A new keybindingFlavor setting restores Bash behavior, where Ctrl+W deletes back to the previous space, and claude mcp list no longer starts disabled servers just to check their status.

Claude Code 2.1.235 to 2.1.237: Concise style, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL, and spell checking

Three releases in three days change several things about daily work. Version 2.1.237 introduces a built-in Concise output style, in which Claude leads with the result and skips the preamble and the recap, and fixes prompt caching for sessions that go through a proxy gateway or a custom base URL. Version 2.1.236 adds the ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL environment variable, which sets the model new sessions start on, and a notify_when_idle option that asks another session to report when it frees up. Version 2.1.235 introduces optional spell checking through aspell, hunspell, or ispell, and reduces memory and processor use for sessions running in the cloud.
