What happened
Anthropic has introduced Claude Opus 5. The new model targets computer programming, automated agents, and business tasks. The report notes that Anthropic made this version cheaper to run than earlier top-tier models.
The context
Anthropic usually positions its Opus line as its most capable and expensive tier. Cutting the cost of high-end reasoning makes complex coding agents more practical for daily production work.
