Anthropic has unveiled its latest AI model, Claude Opus 4.5, significantly cutting costs by about two-thirds and boosting performance on software engineering tasks. Priced at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, this is a dramatic reduction from previous rates, allowing wider access to advanced AI capabilities. Claude Opus 4.5 outperformed all human candidates on the company’s toughest engineering test and surpasses the competition on key benchmarks with improved reasoning and judgment. Efficiency gains reduce token usage by up to 76%, with new features like infinite chats and programmatic tool calling enhancing user experience. Major enterprises report that AI agents built with Opus 4.5 can iteratively improve their skills autonomously. This launch ramps up competition with OpenAI and Google amid a rapidly evolving AI market projected to hit $1 trillion in revenue within a decade.
