Claude Code v2.1.158: Auto Mode Now on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry for Opus 4.7/4.8
Claude Code v2.1.158 extends auto mode to Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry deployments running Opus 4.7 or Opus 4.8. Auto mode allows the agent to automatically determine when to run commands, edit files, or ask for clarification without requiring manual approval for each step.
Key Details
- New platforms: Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry (in addition to existing support)
- Models: Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8
- Opt-in: Set environment variable
CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1
To enable, launch Claude Code with the environment variable set:
CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1 claude codeOnce enabled, the agent will autonomously execute actions like file edits and shell commands, reducing user interaction overhead. This is particularly useful for long-running multi-step tasks where manual confirmation would break flow.
