Claude Opus 5: Same price and twice the performance

July 24, 2026

Claude Opus 5 launches today, July 24, 2026, available through the API and on Claude.ai. It costs five dollars per million input tokens, twenty-five per million output tokens. The same as Opus 4.8. Same price, but more than twice the performance on some benchmarks. That's what Anthropic says. On Frontier-Bench, which measures complex software engineering tasks, it more than doubles what Opus 4.8 could do. And on CursorBench 3.2, which evaluates coding in a real-world context, it's half a percentage point below the ceiling reached by Fable 5, while costing half as much.
