Claude Opus 4.1
anthropicanthropic/claude-opus-4.1
How TheRouter serves this differently from the vendor
As the vendor operates it
Anthropic's timestamped API model was claude-opus-4-1-20250805; it is deprecated and retired upstream after the 2026-08-05 cutoff.
On TheRouter
TheRouter keeps the public id anthropic/claude-opus-4.1 visible as a legacy reference page and compatibility target; new production traffic should route to the recommended successor, anthropic/claude-opus-4.8.
