frequently asked
What is Claude Opus 5 best for?+
Claude Opus 5 is Anthropic’s flagship model for demanding reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agentic work. It is particularly strong at end-to-end software tasks, code review and bug finding, visual analysis of charts and documents, complex office deliverables, and coordinating parallel subagents. The model maintains strong instruction following and tool use across extended tasks, while remaining effective at lower effort settings for workloads that prioritize latency and token efficiency.
How much does Claude Opus 5 cost?+
$5/M input and $25/M output, cache reads $0.50/M. In an agent loop most input is cache-read, so the effective input rate is about $1.85/M.Which plan do I need?+
Available on Max and above.
How do I switch to it?+
