What the record says
Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5 on July 24, 2026. The official model overview lists the fixed API ID claude-opus-5, a 1M-token context window, 128K maximum output, and $5/$25 per 1M input/output tokens. Anthropic describes it as a step-change over Opus 4.8; no provider-published benchmark figure is recorded here without a specific official table. Adaptive thinking is on by default; disablement at xhigh or max effort returns a 400 error.

- Stop paying twice for the same file
- Give a model your own tools and data through MCP
- Operate a desktop application
- Drive a real browser, not a scraper
- Hand off a task and walk away from the machine
- Teach the model a procedure once and reuse it
- Read a 600-page PDF including its charts
- Run the whole job overnight at half price
- Let the model write and run real code mid-answer
- Answer from the live web with citations attached
- Work through an entire repository, not a pasted file
- Fit a whole codebase in one prompt, and find its limit
- One screenshot in, a working page out

benchr's read
Worth it for
- Complex agentic coding and enterprise work
- 1M-context workloads that need 128K output
- Teams migrating from Claude Opus 4.8 at the same base API price
Look elsewhere if
- You need a provider-published benchmark comparison — none is recorded in the verified facts yet
- You need the lowest-cost Claude tier — Sonnet and Haiku remain cheaper
Prices, limits, and identifiers above are provider facts. This section is benchr's judgement about them.
What benchr has written about it
Pieces that name this model, newest first. The ones written about this model come before the ones that mention it in passing.
What is not on this page
Stated rather than filled in.
- No provider-published benchmark result is recorded for this model. benchr does not carry a figure across from a similar model or estimate one.
- No first-token or tokens-per-second figure is recorded. benchr has not measured it and the provider does not publish one.
- benchr has not run any capability on this model itself. Everything in the capability section is documentation, not a test result.
