Changelog #033
Hey everyone. Mostly billing visibility and session ID plumbing this week, plus some anti-bot and browser updates.

The console now shows more billing detail, including metered usage and balance breakdowns, effective concurrency limits, and scrape costs in spend calculations.
-
Steel now supports a new session ID format across session creation and connect routing.
-
Anti-bot sessions picked up a CDP input-event stealth layer to reduce synthetic typing signals, and Steel Browser now preserves native request headers during challenge handling.
-
Managed browsers now run on Chromium 150 with updated fingerprints.
-
The leaderboard added OSWorld 2.0 as a separate long-horizon computer-use benchmark and re-ranked entries on partial score.
