Claude Opus 5
The Anthropic Claude Opus 5 is a large language model that can handle text, image, and file inputs with a maximum context length of 1 million tokens. It supports various tools, including reasoning capabilities, but does not produce structured output. At $30 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, the Claude Opus 5 may be worth shortlisting for users who require high-performance text generation or processing capabilities across multiple modalities. With a blended benchmark score of 97.0 across three independent benchmarks, it demonstrates strong performance in these areas; however, its price point may be prohibitive for those on a tight budget or with limited resources.
