Claude Opus 5 is now available from Anthropic, featuring significant improvements in programming, computer use, and long-form task execution. The model delivers capabilities comparable to competitors' flagship offerings while undercutting their pricing substantially.
The new model costs $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, positioning it as a cost-effective alternative to leading competitors. For comparison, rival models charge $10 and $50 respectively for the same token volumes—cutting Anthropic's pricing in half across both metrics.
Claude Opus 5 is available exclusively to subscribers on Anthropic's Pro and Max plans, giving existing users immediate access to the performance gains without requiring a tier upgrade.
