Claude Code v2.1.154 ships Opus 4.8 and dynamic workflows
Claude Code v2.1.154 introduces Opus 4.8, which now defaults to high effort (with /effort xhigh for the hardest tasks), and adds dynamic workflows: ask Claude to create a workflow and it orchestrates work across tens to hundreds of background agents, viewable with /workflows. Fast mode on Opus 4.8 is now offered at a fraction of its prior cost — 2x the standard rate for 2.5x the speed. A follow-up release (v2.1.156) fixed an Opus 4.8 issue where modified thinking blocks led to API errors. For plugin authors building agent-heavy tooling, dynamic workflows change how large multi-agent tasks can be structured.
