Claude Opus 4.5
Anthropic's most capable AI model, built for complex coding, autonomous agents, and multi-step reasoning tasks.
What is Claude Opus 4.5?
Claude Opus 4.5 is Anthropic's flagship AI model released in November 2024, designed for the hardest coding and reasoning tasks.
It's the first model to break 80% on the SWE-bench Verified coding benchmark and can run autonomously for 30+ hours on complex multi-step tasks. It has a 200K token context window and supports an "effort" parameter that lets you control how many tokens it uses when responding.
Most builders use it for complex codebases, building AI agents that need to make decisions across multiple systems, and tasks that require deep reasoning without hand-holding. It's particularly strong at computer use tasks with a new zoom feature for inspecting UI elements at full resolution.
Pricing is $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens. Available through Claude.ai, the API, and major cloud platforms.
