Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 arrive in the model picker

Chat surfaces built with Elements now offer the newest models. The picker adds Claude Fable 5 and the GPT-5.6 series, retires deprecated models, and defaults to Claude Sonnet 5 — with safer fallbacks so a de-listed model never silently resolves to a premium one.

Features

• Refreshed model list #4128 - The model picker adds Claude Fable 5 and the GPT-5.6 series (Sol, Terra, and Luna), marks premium models with an Expensive badge, and removes deprecated models like Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-4.1, o3, and Gemini 2.5. (Author: @simplesagar)

Bug fixes

• Predictable defaults and fallbacks #4130 - Elements now uses an explicit Claude Sonnet 5 default model, and unknown or de-listed models resolve to pinned per-provider fallbacks instead of silently landing on the most expensive model. (Author: @simplesagar)
