Anthropic has released Claude Opus 5, a new AI model that offers performance comparable to its frontier intelligence model, Claude Fable 5, but at half the price. Opus 5 achieves new state-of-the-art results on various coding and knowledge work evaluations, including Frontier-Bench and GDPval-AA, while also demonstrating improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness over its predecessor, Opus 4.8. The model is now the default on Claude Max and the strongest option on Claude Pro, with an additional "Fast mode" available for accelerated performance.
