v2.2.0

Albatross now speaks to Claude directly. Add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, run /backend anthropic, and Claude models join your routing stack alongside local backends — with the same transparent, auditable routing receipts as everything else.

Added

  • Native anthropic backend using the documented Claude Messages and Models APIs with ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. (Claude.ai OAuth and subscription tokens are intentionally unsupported.)
  • Full agent-loop support: streaming text, tool calls, image input, and thinking-signature round-tripping.
  • Honest accounting: cache-read and cache-write token accounting, model/effort receipts, and date-aware Claude Sonnet 5 pricing on the per-turn cost line.

Pair it with routing policies from v2.1.0: put Sonnet 5 on your high tier, a local qwen2.5-coder on low, and let /route report show which model earns its cost.
