- Anthropic announced Opus 5.5, focused on more natural communication: putting key information up front and following user writing rules for easier long sessions.
- Team member Jackson Kernion says it's their first release with targeted improvements on sentence clarity and overly-dense info dumps, calling it a hard problem they'll keep working on.
- He adds it's the first model whose writing he's been this happy about since Opus 4.6.
