Rank of 2705from #5

Known for

The hardest coding and research work, where a cheaper model's evals come up short.

Anthropic's most capable model that anyone can buy, released 1 September 2026. Built for long-horizon agentic work and the coding tasks where Opus 5 at max effort still falls short.

What it does8

  • 1M-token context, 128K output
  • Adaptive thinking with per-message effort control
  • Effort can change mid-conversation without a new session
  • Cache reads at a quarter of Fable 5's price
  • Cyber safety classifiers refuse far less on defensive security work
  • Invisible watermark on generated text, with a detection API in preview
  • Text and image in, text out
  • Same $10 / $50 list price as Fable 5
