Opus 5 may need to match Opus 4.8 pricing after Sonnet 5’s price jump
bindureddy · x · 2026-07-23
A commenter is speculating about whether Opus 5 will be cost-neutral or about 30% more expensive than Opus 4.8.
They also argue that Sonnet 5 effectively flopped because it doubled the price of Sonnet-class models, making pricing the main issue rather than raw capability.
