Performance approaching Fable 5, price cut in half: "Claude Opus 5" unveiled

Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 5, a new flagship-level model offered at roughly half the price of its top-tier counterpart.

The model posted strong results across software development and business-task benchmarks, including coding and automation tests.

It is expected to make advanced AI more affordable and easier to adopt for development and enterprise workflows.

However, it still trails the very best model in aggressive cybersecurity use cases.
