 ### Changed
 
 - **HTML Export Prefix**: Exported session files now use `pi-session-` prefix (e.g., `pi-session-2025-11-13T12-27-53-866Z_xxx.html`) for easier `.gitignore` filtering ([#72](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/72))
+- **Native Model Identity**: Removed "You are actually not Claude, you are Pi" from system prompt, allowing models to use their native identity ([#73](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/73))
