Opus 5

Frontier agentic coding, at half the cost.

Agentic LLMAnthropicClaude Opus 5

What it is

Opus 5 is the Opus-tier flagship that came before Opus 5.5: near-frontier intelligence for complex agentic coding and enterprise work, with a one-million-token context and a cost-to-capability toggle.

It is the practical default for production Skills that run often. Most of the ceiling of a frontier model, at roughly half the price, with the same long-context reach.

Profiles describe the model, not a guarantee: the Skill folder is what makes the work repeatable, and the agent's settings decide what the model can reach.

What it's best at

The work this engine is built for, and where it earns its place in a run.

01

Agentic coding

Multi-file edits, refactors and reviews with an eye on the whole repository.

02

Enterprise work

Long professional tasks where the deliverable has to be defensible, not merely plausible.

03

Long context

Carries a full codebase or specification through a multi-step change.

04

Cost control

An effort toggle lets routine runs spend less without changing models.

A good first run

Three web Skills to try on Opus 5 — each one a folder of instructions the model can pick up straight away.

The rest of the engine room.
