So it’s 1/3 the price of Opus 4.1…

…and potentially uses a lot less tokens?

Excited to stress test this in Claude Code, looks like a great model on paper!

Great seeing the price reduction. Opus historically was prices at 15/75, this one delivers at 5/25 which is close to Gemini 3 Pro. I hope Anthropic can afford increasing limits for the new Opus.

Seeing these benchmarks makes me so happy.

Not because I love Anthropic (I do like them) but because it's staving off me having to change my Coding Agent.

This world is changing fast, and both keeping up with State of the Art and/or the feeling of FOMO is exhausting.

Ive been holding onto Claude Code for the last little while since Ive built up a robust set of habits, slash commands, and sub agents that help me squeeze as much out of the platform as possible.

But with the last few releases of Gemini and Codex I've been getting closer and closer to throwing it all out to start fresh in a new ecosystem.

Thankfully Anthropic has come out swinging today and my own SOP's can remain in tact a little while longer.

Is this available on claude-code?

What are you thinking of trying to use it for? It is generally a huge waste of money to unleash Opus on high content tasks ime

I use claude-code extensively to plan and study for my college using the socrates learning mode. It's a great way to learn for me. I wanted to test the new model's capabilities on that front.
