  • 🛠️ Internal evaluations show top scores in tool use, reasoning, and problem-solving, matching or beating Google’s Gemini 3 across several benchmarks.


  • 🧭 Marketed as Anthropic’s most robustly aligned and safety-optimized model to date.


  • 🤝 Designed to coordinate teams of smaller Haiku models, positioning Claude Opus 4.5 as the “central brain” for multi-agent systems.


  • 💸 Anthropic reports it is up to 66% cheaper than Opus 4.1, delivering major efficiency gains.


  • 🖥️ New updates include extended chat lengths, expanded tool integrations, and improved access across Chrome and Excel.


What Makes Claude Opus 4.5 Different


Claude Opus 4.5 isn’t just a larger model — it’s positioned as a system coordinator built to orchestrate smaller agents in complex workflows. This multi-agent direction aligns with where the industry is rapidly heading.


Why Claude Opus 4.5 Is Important


Claude Opus 4.5 lands amid one of the busiest weeks in frontier AI — following GPT-5.1 Pro and Gemini 3 — and firmly positions Anthropic back at the front of the race.

The steep price drop is strategically significant as well, addressing long-standing criticism that Claude models were too expensive and making high-end capabilities far more accessible for enterprises.
