Still in the API at $5/$25 per million tokens, but newer Opus versions have replaced it, so mostly relevant to existing builds.

Kenning's take

What it does

Claude Opus 4.5 was Anthropic's top model when it launched in November 2025, built for coding, agents and computer use, and improved on deep research and work with slides and spreadsheets. It cut Opus pricing to $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens. It remains available in the API, though newer Opus versions have since replaced it as the default.

  • Agentic coding and computer use
  • Better handling of slides and spreadsheets
  • API model claude-opus-4-5-20251101
  • $5/$25 per million tokens, down from earlier Opus pricing

Who it suits. Developers who have built on this specific model version and want to know its status.
