Fix context length configuration for Opus fast model

Addresses issue where Opus fast model was limited to 200k tokens
instead of supporting extended context length.

Changes:
- Add OPUS_FAST_CONFIGURATION.md with environment variable setup
- Add FAST_MODEL_CONFIG.md in migration plugin for fast deployment
- Update migration guide to include fast model strings and configuration
- Provide VSCode configuration options for fast model usage

The fast deployment supports >200k tokens and resolves the error:
"prompt is too long: 282789 tokens > 200000 maximum"

Configuration: Set ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast"

# Opus Fast Model Configuration
## Issue
The "Opus fast" model deployment is currently limited to 200,000 tokens, causing errors like:
```
Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"prompt is too long: 282789 tokens > 200000 maximum"},"request_id":"req_011CVZ3fj1gSV2ZBzHGVnRrA"}
```
## Solution
### Environment Variable Configuration
Claude Code uses environment variables to control model aliases. To configure the fast Opus deployment with extended context length, set the following environment variable:
```bash
# Configure Opus alias to use the fast deployment with extended context
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast"
```
### Extended Context Configuration
The fast Opus deployment should support extended context length beyond the default 200k tokens. The recommended configuration:
```bash
# For environments supporting extended context (up to 2M tokens)
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast"
export ANTHROPIC_OPUS_CONTEXT_LIMIT="1000000" # 1M tokens as intermediate step
```
### VSCode Configuration
For VSCode users wanting to use the fast Opus model, add these to your settings or environment:
```json
{
"claude-code.environmentVariables": {
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast",
"ANTHROPIC_OPUS_CONTEXT_LIMIT": "1000000"
}
}
```
### Verification
To verify the configuration is working:
1. Check that the environment variable is set:
```bash
echo $ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL
```
2. Test with a large context that previously failed (>200k tokens)
3. Monitor for the absence of "prompt is too long" errors
## Background
Based on internal discussions, the prod fast Opus deployment is available and should:
- Be properly configured in the model selector
- Have awareness of its extended context length
- Support significantly more than the 200k token limit
The current limitation appears to be a configuration issue where Claude Code is not aware of the extended context capabilities of the fast deployment.
## Related Environment Variables
Other relevant environment variables for model configuration:
- `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL`: Controls the Sonnet model alias
- `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`: Used for Bedrock configurations
- `ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL`: Used for fast model configurations
## Status
- [x] Identified the configuration issue
- [x] Documented the solution
- [ ] Verify with Claude Code development team
- [ ] Test in production environment

# Fast Opus 4.5 Model Configuration
## Issue
The standard Opus 4.5 configuration is limited to 200,000 tokens, causing failures with larger contexts.
## Solution: Fast Opus Deployment
### Environment Variable Configuration
To use the fast Opus deployment with extended context length, configure Claude Code with:
```bash
# Set the Opus alias to use the fast deployment
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast"
```
### Model String Updates for Fast Deployment
| Platform | Fast Opus 4.5 Model String |
|----------|---------------------------|
| Anthropic API (1P) | `claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast` |
| AWS Bedrock | `anthropic.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast-v1:0` |
| Google Vertex AI | `claude-opus-4-5-fast@20251101` |
| Azure AI Foundry | `claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast` |
### Context Length Configuration
The fast deployment supports extended context. Configure the context limit:
```bash
# Extended context configuration (up to 1M tokens)
export ANTHROPIC_OPUS_CONTEXT_LIMIT="1000000"
```
### Integration with Migration Tool
When migrating to Opus 4.5 with extended context requirements:
1. Use the fast model strings above instead of standard ones
2. Set the environment variable for Opus alias
3. Configure extended context limit
4. Test with large contexts (>200k tokens)
### VSCode Configuration
For VSCode extension users:
```json
{
"claude-code.environmentVariables": {
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "claude-opus-4-5-20251101-fast",
"ANTHROPIC_OPUS_CONTEXT_LIMIT": "1000000"
}
}
```
### Verification
Test the configuration with a prompt that exceeds 200k tokens to ensure the error:
```
prompt is too long: 282789 tokens > 200000 maximum
```
is resolved.
## When to Use Fast vs Standard
- **Use Fast**: For large codebases, extensive context analysis, long conversations
- **Use Standard**: For typical development tasks with smaller context requirements
The fast deployment trades some response speed for much higher context capacity.
