Opus 5.5

Anthropic ships Claude Opus 5.5 and cuts token prices by a fifth

Opus 5.5 charges $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, 20% below Opus 5. Cache reads, which dominate the bill for agentic and coding work, fall 60% to $0.20 per million. Anthropic says the model works at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 on most tasks while costing 40% less to run than Opus 5. It also arrives with safeguards that reroute most cybersecurity work to Opus 4.8.
