STEVE 0.4.0 — Claude subscriptions and independent Codex updates

Use your Claude subscription in Autodesk Fusion through the official Claude Code client. Select Claude (experimental) alongside ChatGPT, Grok / X, and local Ollama.

What changed

  • Update Codex independently. The account menu shows the running Codex version, checks OpenAI's latest stable release, and downloads verified updates without waiting for a STEVE release. Downloads run alongside your current task; click Restart STEVE in the account menu to activate the update and reopen your chat without restarting Fusion. The bundled runtime remains available for recovery.

  • Refresh OpenAI models. Refresh the ChatGPT model catalog without resetting your conversation. The packaged Codex baseline is now 0.155.1; newer compatible stable versions can be installed independently.

  • Use your existing Claude sign-in. Install Claude Code and run claude auth login in a terminal outside Fusion. STEVE detects the account automatically and provides installation and sign-in guidance when needed. Credentials stay with Claude Code.

  • See model versions and effort choices. The picker shows resolved names such as Opus 5.5 and Haiku 4.5, preserves context and usage-credit labels, and exposes supported reasoning levels.

  • Refresh after Claude updates. The account menu shows the installed Claude Code version. Check connection refreshes that version and the model catalog without resetting your chat.

  • Keep STEVE's tools and conversations. Claude supports Fusion tool calls, streaming, images, steering, saved history, and native goal controls through the existing conversation engine. Signed replay data is isolated by chat.

  • Handle failures clearly. Interrupted or incomplete responses do not dispatch unfinished tool batches. Claude errors reach the chat, and cancellation stops the owned process. The adapter prevents additional upstream generations within a single model request.

Claude support is experimental. Web search is not connected for this provider; Fusion's installed API documentation remains available. Claude Code is installed separately. Anthropic controls model access, subscription limits, and any usage-credit or extra-usage charges. No API key or separate STEVE account is required.

Live Haiku and Sonnet checks completed tool rounds against a simulated document. Automated checks cover the protocol, images, steering, history, goals, and cancellation. Native Fusion workflows and macOS Claude usage still need live confirmation; see verification status.

Update or install

  • Windows x64: download STEVE-0.4.0-windows-x64.zip, extract the whole ZIP, close Fusion, then run Install STEVE.exe.
  • macOS (Apple silicon): download STEVE-0.4.0-macos-arm64.zip, extract it, quit Fusion, then run Install STEVE.command through Terminal (type bash , drag the file in, press Return) or allow it under System Settings > Privacy & Security.

Existing STEVE users can use Check for updates once this release is published. The installer preserves saved chats and preferences. Each ZIP includes the conversation runtime, installer, and installation guide. GitHub's Source code downloads do not include the runtime or installer.

These are unsigned previews. Both platform packages must pass automated build and installation verification before publication. Each package's SHA-256 checksum is included as a separate release asset.
