Anthropic introduced Claude Opus 5 on 24 July 2026 as a model aimed at programming, knowledge work and multi-step workflows. The company says it improves the performance-to-cost balance compared with Opus 4.8, but its comparisons call for caution: they combine in-house tests, different effort settings and, in some cases, fallback mechanisms involving earlier models.
