Anthropic says Claude Opus 5 matches frontier intelligence at half the price

A reply quotes Anthropic’s own description of Claude Opus 5 as a model that is “thoughtful and proactive” and claims it comes close to the frontier intelligence of Fable 5 at half the price.
The commenter questions where Anthropic would be if it had bet even more aggressively on compute, suggesting the launch reinforces the view that the company is still trying to compete on frontier capability and pricing.
