Try Opus 5 today. Use “claude-opus-5” on the Claude API, or run “/model claude-opus-5” in Claude Code.
To upgrade existing workloads to Opus 5, run `/claude-api migrate` in Claude Code.
The built-in claude-api skill updates your model strings and suggests prompt improvements that are tuned for Opus 5.
On the Chartography benchmark (100 questions over dense real-world charts), Fable 5's accuracy goes from 29% to 73% with a zoom tool, and Sonnet 5’s from 13% to 44%.

Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit.
Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.

Build an artifact once, then it pulls live data via MCP. Artifacts use the viewers’ own MCP connectors, so creators don’t need to re-run sessions to refresh, and viewers can only see the data they have access to.
