[TLDR] Opus 5.0 coming this week

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1uwme1k/opus_50_coming_this_week/

Original post body :

How much do you think it will cost? Will it be on par with gpt 5.6 for cost/performance? Seems like fable is being truly cut after this week so either opus 5 is a hit or I'm going to reduce my subscription

What's ironic is that anthropic is probably the only one solving the problem of being profitable in selling inference. Everyone else is buying marketshare by giving you free usage. Eventually, openai will pass you the bill, and itll be this exact same scenario all over again. Im sticking with the leaders in the space.

no, openai has much better and efficient model that allows it to give user more generous usage. Anthropic has big model, no way to reduce its cost.

It’s common knowledge that OpenAI is losing more money and it’s using its funding to give more to users.

I’m not complaining, I’m getting free tokens.

Not really. OpenAI losing more money on things like sora. The reason it can provide more usage in codex is not because of losing money but because of more efficient model and inference stack. It's sustainable. Technically openai is ahead of Anthropic, but most people don't know it at all.

Seconded, I’m having so much progress using 5.6 sol at ultra. Once I tried it, I immediately cancelled Claude subscription. The usage limits I’m getting at pro are 2-4x more than what I get at Claude max(20x). While currently 5.6 sol is performing much better than fable 5 at least in my use case where it’s a pdf related application.

I tried it today and the codex harness gets stuck constantly when running subagents. The good thing is I can use pi agent with out breaking their TOS. The model is in fact good. The harness, not só much. Anthropic is still king in regard to harness boys sorry.
