Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

The /model command in Claude Code displays incorrect model names in the UI.

Current Behavior ❌
1. Default (recommended) Opus 4.1 for up to 20% of usage limits, then use Sonnet 4 ✔
2. Sonnet Sonnet 4 for daily use

Expected Behavior ✅
1. Default (recommended) Opus 4.1 for up to 20% of usage limits, then use Sonnet 4.5 ✔
2. Sonnet Sonnet 4.5 for daily use

What Should Happen?

The /model command UI should correctly display "Sonnet 4.5" instead of "Sonnet 4".
The underlying model is already correct (claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929), so only the UI display string needs fixing.

Error Messages/Logs

No runtime errors.  
This is purely a **UI display bug**.  
Logs confirm that the correct model (`claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`) is being used internally.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code (v2.0.1).
  2. Run the /model command to view available models.
  3. Observe the displayed model names:
    • Default shows "Sonnet 4"
    • Sonnet option also shows "Sonnet 4"
  4. Compare against the official announcement and logs, which show "Sonnet 4.5".
