The Claude Python SDK you pin drops temperature, top_p and Python 3.9
Version 1.0, released 20 August, swaps the HTTP layer from httpx to httpx2, an API-compatible fork maintained by the Pydantic team. Tracing, APM instrumentation and HTTP mocking that hook httpx directly stop seeing the SDK's requests until they are repointed. The legacy Text Completions endpoint is gone, along with the HUMAN_PROMPT and AI_PROMPT constants.
Running GPT-5.6 inside Kiro's spec loop cost 82% less per finished task
OpenAI made Sol, Terra and Luna available in the AWS spec-driven environment on 24 August. Both companies attribute the saving to Kiro handing the model requirements, design documents and task context before generation starts, so it reaches working solutions in fewer iterations. The figure comes from their own joint testing on Terminal-Bench 2.1, not an independent run.
Your per-loop token spend now shows up in Claude Code's usage view
Release 2.1.243 adds per-loop metrics covering run count, total tokens, tokens per run and last run, alongside a modelPricing managed setting that feeds an organisation's own per-model rates into those cost calculations. The same release makes cache duration configurable across sessions through promptCacheTtl and subagentPromptCacheTtl, and lets a modelPicker setting reorder and relabel the model selector. Organisations that block API keys can sign in through the Anthropic Console instead.
