Claude Opus 5
The current Opus tier: built for complex agentic coding and enterprise work, at half the price of Fable 5. Thinking is on by default. A drop-in upgrade from Opus 4.8 at the same price.
- Watch: Prompt cache minimum drops to 512 tokens
- Watch: Separate rate-limit pool from Opus 4.x
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Google's flagship and the largest context window of any major commercial model at 2M tokens. Pricing is tiered: it doubles on input above 200K tokens, which matters a great deal if you actually use the window.
- Watch: Tiered pricing above 200K input tokens catches people out
