Anthropic launches Claude Opus 5, challenging Fable 5 on benchmarks
ByPulseAugur Editorial·[37 sources]·
Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 5, a new frontier model that offers performance close to Claude Fable 5 at a reduced cost. Early evaluations show Opus 5 excelling in coding and knowledge work, setting new state-of-the-art benchmarks on tasks like Frontier-Bench and ARC-AGI. While it demonstrates strong capabilities in areas like 3D model reconstruction and complex coding tasks, its performance on cybersecurity exploitation still lags behind models like Mythos 5. Users are reporting mixed experiences, with some praising its advanced capabilities and cost-effectiveness, while others note challenges with its proactivity and the need to adapt existing workflows.

Claude Opus 5 is a weirder than usual release to evaluate, for two reasons. The most obvious is that Fable 5 already exists. Opus 5 is pitched not as the world’s most advanced AI model, but as a way to mostly match Fable performance, while being half the price of Fable per token …
<p>Claude Opus 5 is trying to be the best of both worlds. On many practical tasks, Opus 5 is pitched as straight up as good or better than Fable 5, while being faster, at half the price. Most tasks do not require Mythos-level big model smell.</p> <blockquote><p>Claude Opus 5 is s…
**Anthropic** launched the **Claude Opus 5** model, which sparked mixed reactions including benchmark scrutiny and praise for its coding-agent capabilities. The model achieved an **Epoch Capabilities Index (ECI) of 159**, slightly below **Fable 5's 161**, but matched Fable 5 on s…
Claude Opus 5 is now available in Perplexity and Perplexity Computer.
We evaluated it against six other models on WANDR. It outperformed all but Fable 5, while being 57% cheaper. https://t.co/78KJEUY2Xx

<p>Claude Opus 5 represents a significant leap forward in the evolution of large language models, marking Anthropic's most ambitious attempt yet to push the boundaries of what artificial intelligence can accomplish. As the AI landscape continues to intensify with fierce competiti…
<p>Anthropic released Claude Opus 5 on July 24. The positioning is unusually plain for a model launch: an everyday model that, per Anthropic, comes close to Claude Fable 5's frontier intelligence at half the price. The pricing backs that up. Opus 5 costs $5 per million input toke…
