You really don’t need to watch it that closely. If the model you’re using today is working well, just stick with it.

If one day you open up Claude Code and it’s Opus 5.1 now instead of Opus 5, no big deal. It probably will work about the same as it did before. Maybe a little better.

Or if you’re on Codex and some new cool Claude model comes out, no worries. There will probably be a similar new model for Codex within a few weeks. Maybe even within a few days.
