Anthropic has released its latest AI model with Claude Opus 5. The new version arrives about two months after the previous Opus model upgrade, matching Anthropic's previous upgrade cadence.

Anthropic says Opus 5 offers near Fable 5 intelligence for half the cost. Anthropic describes Opus 5 as a thoughtful and proactive model that comes close to the frontier intelligence of Claude Fable 5 at half the price. Opus 5 is designed to be used every day: it works more efficiently than other models.

It's the new default model on Claude Max, and the strongest model on Claude Pro. Anthropic says Claude Opus 5 is available today for every platform. Opus 5 is $5/million input token and $25/million output token, matching Opus 4.8 pricing.
