As of September 1, 2026, this dedicated fast model is deprecated. Fast mode is now served by the fast service tier endpoint on Claude Opus 4.8Opens in new tab — request it with service_tier: "fast" or speed: "fast". Requests to this model keep working and are served by the same fast tier capacity, so no action is required, but new integrations should target the regular model.
