Anthropic has unveiled a new AI model it says comes close to Claude Fable 5 in its levels of intelligence — at half the price.
Claude Opus 5 was just released by Anthropic on Friday. The AI company is already pushing the model out as the default model on Claude Max, Anthropic’s highest subscription plan which starts at $100 a month. It’s also the strongest available model on Claude Pro, the company’s $20-per-month subscription tier.
Claude Opus 5 tops Anthropic’s other models in key areas
Opus 5 is “designed to be used every day,” Anthropic says, adding that it’s more efficient than the company’s previous models.
Most notably, the company calls Opus 5 its “most aligned model to date.” This means Opus 5 abides by “human values” and safety guidelines.
