About Claude Opus 5.5

Opus 5.5 replaced Opus 5 in September 2026 and is the model Anthropic tells most people to start with. Anthropic puts it at about 40% cheaper than its predecessor on typical work and more than 30% faster at writing its answer. On professional knowledge work it scored higher than Fable 5.1 in Anthropic’s own GDPval-AA test — 1846 against 1735 — and it reached 66.4% on Terminal-Bench 4.0.

Thinking is always on, at medium effort by default. For long coding sessions, reviewing a large codebase and business analysis it is the safe high-end choice; Fable 5.1 is only worth the extra on problems Opus cannot crack.

What is Claude Opus 5.5 good for?

  • Long coding sessions and reviewing large codebases.
  • Financial analysis, reports and other professional knowledge work.
  • Automating multi-step business workflows.
  • A dependable default when you are not sure which model to use.

Where to be careful

  • Thinking cannot be switched off, so even a simple question carries some reasoning time and cost.
  • Anthropic itself cautions that benchmark leads have become a weak guide to real differences. Compare it on your own tasks.
  • Cybersecurity and biology requests may be refused by Anthropic’s safety filters.
