Introducing Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic)
Anthropic's own announcement of Claude Opus 5.5, published 22 September 2026 — the first model in the Claude 5.5 family. The company's claims, in its own words: it performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 on most work and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5 on typical workloads; on Anthropic's automated behavioural audit, its most comprehensive internal alignment test, it scores the highest of any model the company has tested. The page also cites early-tester anecdotes, including one completing a 680,000-line code migration in under a day, and a result of succeeding 39 times out of 40 on a page-load optimisation task. It is Anthropic's first release since the company publicly called for pacing the frontier, and it was tested before release by external evaluators including METR and Frontier Design.
