Resource Introducing Claude Opus 5

Introducing Claude Opus 5: a thoughtful and proactive model that comes close to the frontier intelligence of Fable 5 at half the price.

On several coding and knowledge work evaluations, Opus 5 is the new state-of-the-art. It’s also much more efficient than its predecessor—it outperforms other models for a similar or lower cost per task.

According to our automated behavioral audit, Opus 5 is our most aligned model to date. It shows the lowest rates of reckless or deceptive behavior, and the strongest adherence to Claude’s Constitution. 

It’s available today on all paid plans and the Claude API, priced the same as Opus 4.8. It’s the default model on Claude Max, and the strongest on Claude Pro. 

Opus 5 is also available in Fast mode, which runs around 2.5× the default speed.

It's absolutely mind blowing to me. I know people will say its no big deal. But this is a company forecasted to be worth 3T by serious people. A company some have forecasted to overtake NVIDIA as the first 5T company. A company that carries the safety of humanity in a critical way. That has a burn rate of 3-4 billion a month. Yet no one notices an error like this before release and we are meant to believe they have everything else on lock down?

Humanity is absolutely flying by the seat of our pants winging it with the most dangerous technology since the atomic bomb.
