Claude Opus 5.5
Claude Opus 5.5, launched 22 September 2026, is Anthropic's current Opus-line flagship, replacing Opus 5. It performs at roughly the level of Claude Fable 5.1 on most work while costing 40% less to run than Opus 5, at $4 input / $20 output per million tokens (both 20% down, cache reads cut 60% to $0.20). It leads on Terminal-Bench 4.0, GDPval-AA v2.1 and Humanity's Last Exam, and is the first Opus model to ship with Fable-5.1-class cybersecurity, biology and distillation safeguards.

It has a 1M-token context window, 128K max output, adaptive thinking, and is the first Sonnet with cyber and anti-distillation classifiers.
GPT-6.1 Sol
GPT-6.1 Sol, launched at OpenAI DevDay on 29 September 2026, is OpenAI's mid-tier workhorse model. OpenAI says it delivers nearly the same intelligence as GPT-6 Astra at one-fifth of Astra's token price: $2 input / $10 output per million tokens with cached input cut to $0.10. It scores 75.2% on DeepSWE v1.1 (high effort) and 71.4% on OSWorld 2.0, has a 1.05M-token context window and 128K max output, and is available in the API plus ChatGPT Work and Codex.
