latest is not stable
| npm dist-tag | Current version |
|---|---|
latest | 2.1.322 |
next | 2.1.322 |
stable | 2.1.311 |
These are separate tags: latest and stable do not currently point to the same build.
The earlier note on Claude Code 2.1.310 is about Monitor becoming available on Vertex and other clouds. This article only covers 2.1.322 adding fast mode on Vertex in the global, us and eu regions, and the fallback to standard speed if Vertex refuses it.
We haven't installed this build, and we haven't tried fast mode or the fallback on Vertex. The details above come from the GitHub Release and the npm tags.
