Major feature release — Dynamic Workflows & Enterprise Governance
Added Opus 4.8, xhigh effort, lower-cost fast mode, and dynamic workflows for orchestrating large background-agent fleets. Leaner system prompt and redesigned /simplify.
Low-risk capability expansion with minor behavioral drift from leaner system prompt.
Access to more capable model for complex tasks
Deeper reasoning at higher compute cost
Script-driven large background-agent fleet coordination
Reduced prompt verbosity; may alter existing prompt assumptions
No removals in this release
Dynamic workflows significantly improve multi-agent orchestration throughput. Fast mode reduces cost for routine tasks.
Leaner system prompt changes the baseline instruction surface — audit any workflows relying on implicit system-prompt behavior.
