Used as the comparison point for Sonnet 5.5 in demos and benchmarks; priced at $4 input / $20 output per million tokens. Sonnet 5.5 scores nearly the same.
Anthropic's latest model, strong at 3D, design, coding and navigating interfaces, but not significantly better than GPT-6 Astra and much more expensive per task. Creator prefers GPT-6.
New state-of-the-art model, priced at $4 input and $20 output per million tokens. Built a near-faithful Mega Bonk over about 20 hours and produced strong JavaScript and Blender animations. On Artificial Analysis it is the smartest model, but token-hungry, so cost per task stays high.
Creator tests Opus 5.5 in Claude Code on reCAPTCHA puzzles, ray-traced simulation, live piano, math video, Blender tour, Unreal game, EDM music, plus chat tests (frog test failed, 1/6 brain tumors, deep research, ideation). Reports it ranks #1 on several benchmarks, is cheaper than Fable 5.1 but pricey, and has guardrails that fall back to a weaker model.
Released the same day as GPT-6 Sol and Luna, at about $4 pricing in the creator's comparison. Its Frontier Code performance is within 6-7 points of the other two models. The creator reviewed it in a separate video.
First model in Anthropic's Claude 5.5 family. It leads Terminal Bench (66.4%), GDPval ELO (1846) and the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.
