Descript adds Claude Opus 5 the same day it shipped
Descript says Opus 5 is already available in its product on the same day it shipped.
The quoted comment says early testing inside Descript found Opus 5 to be better and more efficient than 4.8, and suggests it puts Claude’s Opus line back on the Pareto frontier for video editing alongside Fable, Grok, and open-source models.
The screenshot shows Descript’s model picker updated with Claude Opus 5 at the top, alongside Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT 5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro.
