Fresh from the AI frontier: Anthropic just unleashed Claude Opus 4.5, their slickest model yet—crowning it the “best in the world” for coding, agents, and computer use. Dropping hot on the heels of Sonnet 4.5 (September) and Haiku 4.5 (October), this powerhouse reclaims the coding throne from OpenAI’s GPT-5.1-Codex-Max and Google’s fresh Gemini 3, scoring a jaw-dropping 80.9% on SWE-Bench Verified (first model over 80%) and 66.3% on OSWorld for tool mastery.

What’s the Buzz?

• Coding Superpowers: Tackles multi-day dev projects in hours—better planning, architecture, and efficiency across languages. Outshines rivals on benchmarks like Terminal-bench, tau2-bench, and GPQA Diamond. Pro devs and knowledge workers (analysts, consultants) will geek out.
• Smarter Tools: New Chrome extension for all Max users (screen zoom for precise inspections) and Excel integration for Team/Enterprise—boosts spreadsheet accuracy by 20% and efficiency by 15%. Infinite chats via auto-summaries keep convos flowing without limits.
• Dev Perks: ‘Effort’ parameter in the API tunes efficacy vs. tokens; Claude Code now in desktop/Mac apps for seamless coding sessions. Memory upgrades handle long-context ops like a champ.
• Wallet-Friendly: Slashed pricing—$5/M input tokens, $25/M output (down from $15/$75). More headroom for subscribers, making frontier AI accessible without the sticker shock.

Pros: Enterprise-ready with robust safety (top-tier against prompt injections), hybrid reasoning for agents, and that non-stop innovation vibe. Cons: Still pricier than mid-tiers for casuals; benchmarks don’t always = real-world magic.

If you’re a dev, enterprise hustler, or AI builder eyeing productivity hacks, Opus 4.5 is your new secret weapon—efficient, aligned, and evolving fast. Who’s testing it on their next code sprint? Spill your wins! 👇
