Early hands-on: Claude Opus 5.5 snipes GPT-6 launch with looser $20 quotas
LumonScience · reddit · 2026-09-27
A Reddit user reports that Opus 5.5 launched just before GPT-6 Sol and Luna, stealing OpenAI's thunder after unverified claims that OpenAI expected no response. The author finds it outperforms every current model including Astra, with far more generous usage on the $20 plan, and notes Anthropic's unusually restrained marketing. Next up: watching Haiku 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5.
