Meet the New Claude Opus 5: Frontier-Class Agentic Coding and Computer Use at Unchanged Opus Pricing

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 5, replacing Opus 4.8 as the Opus-tier flagship. Pricing remains unchanged at $5/M input and $25/M output tokens. The model approaches Claude Fable 5's intelligence at half the price. Key API changes: thinking enabled by default, breaking change for disabled thinking at high effort, and removal of verification prompts. It achieves strong results in agentic coding benchmarks like OSWorld (70.57%) and Zapier AutomationBench (26.0%), as well as reasoning tests (perfect score on IMO 2026 problems, 30.16% on ARC-AGI-3). Safety relaxations are limited to source-code vulnerability finding; exploitation remains blocked.
