Anthropic launches Claude Opus 5, claiming frontier-level intelligence at half the price

Anthropic’s quoted announcement says Claude Opus 5 is a “thoughtful and proactive” model that comes close to the frontier intelligence of Fable 5 while costing half as much.

The post itself is just a brief reaction, but the cited launch message contains the substantive news: a new model release with a price/performance claim aimed at the frontier segment.
