According to Anthropic, Opus 5 offers capabilities that come close to Fable 5, Anthropic's most powerful commercially available model, at half the price. More on pricing in a bit, but as for performance, Anthropic says Opus 5 is better at knowledge work than any of its past models. It's also substantially better at complex coding tasks than Opus 4.8. Anthropic claims it's better for scientific research too, where it excels at tasks like predicting how variations in a protein sequence might affect the way the molecules function.
