Every time we have a new model, I run the same simple prompt on all my projects:
"Read this entire project and find everything that’s broken, inconsistent, inefficient, or no longer needed. Fix what you’re sure about and list the rest for me to review."
highly recommend trying

if you are running a small business with claude helping you, I'd love to hear what you're doing!
One side quest that would be so much fun to try right now is running a bunch of local small businesses with AI helping you out
I think products like Claude Duet could end up being bigger for these businesses than even things like Square or Google Maps were

One more thing: we’re halving the price of cache reads on Claude Sonnet 5.5, to $0.10 per million tokens. That makes Sonnet 5.5 around 20% cheaper to run on most long-running work.
For reference, Haiku 4.5 came out on October 15th, 2025 so these two columns are less than a year apart.
and oh yeah Haiku 5.5 is also much faster and 75% cheaper...
Haiku 5.5 is a significant step up over Haiku 4.5 across coding, computer use, and knowledge work.
Sonnet 5.5 has the same feel I liked about Opus 5.5. It writes clearly, it's very fast, and it's a major capabilities jump over Sonnet 5. Really great model to iterate with.
Introducing Claude Sonnet 5.5, the second model in the Claude 5.5 family.
It’s a clear upgrade over Sonnet 5, runs more than 30% faster, and costs up to 30% less for most work.

I've been on a Blender kick with Opus 5.5. Its better 3D modeling and vision mean you can build an entire world from a single prompt.

Lots more coming soon. Today is just the start!
We’re also launching Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 in the coming weeks. These models will come with many of the same improvements to performance, efficiency, and safety.
With that, happy building everyone.

One more thing: we’re increasing five-hour usage limits on Pro, Max, and Team plans. We’re also providing subscription users a rate limit reset, which you can save and use whenever you choose.
Using Opus 5.5 feels like hitting every green light on your drive home, drinking a cold glass of water when you're thirsty, and a hot shower after a long day.
It's super smart, it writes clearly, it's fast, and it costs way less. It's a very good model.

Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family.
It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.
The team did an amazing job with this merge. The resulting UX feels so much better than chat or Cowork did on their own.
And the new slides/docs/design integrations work very well.
Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude.
Ask a quick question or hand over a report, and Claude takes it from there, even after you close your laptop. If something's unclear, Claude asks—you keep the final say.
Rolling out to Pro and Max over the next few weeks.

Worth spending a few minutes this weekend to read this essay in full.
Embedded evaluators might sound unusual in tech but it's pretty normal in other industries. Big banks have federal examiners with desks in the building and every nuclear plant in the US has inspectors who work on site full time. I think frontier AI labs should work the same way and this is a very practical first step.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

One non-model thing I'm very excited we announced today with Fable 5.1 is Enterprise Frontier Safeguards (EFS).
Even if you're not a CEO/CISO, this blog post is a look into how big companies are thinking about AI adoption which is important to understand if you're interested in how AI might diffuse across industry.
Companies are giving agents more and more access to internal systems. With traditional zero data retention, there's been no way to spot patterns in what agents might be doing across sessions on these systems.
EFS is ZDR++. It's ZDR built for a world with agents. A company's data stays in its own cloud, and an automated monitoring layer we built flags risky patterns to its team.
I think of this as an observability and risk mitigation layer for agents. My guess is it will become a standard requirement from enterprises for running increasingly powerful AI on their systems.

We’re also introducing Enterprise Frontier Safeguards (EFS), which give enterprise customers complete privacy (the same as zero data retention), while still being state-of-the-art at preventing adversarial use. EFS rolls out in phases, starting this fall.

Fable 5.1 is a beast at many things but one thing in particular I have been having a ton of fun with is generating videos through code.
For this one I gave it a picture of a property lot. It designed a house for the lot, rendered it, and produced a cinematic walkthrough.

With Fable 5.1 out today, we've also reset 5-hour and weekly limits for all users.
Fable 5.1 excels at complex, long-running tasks. And its research capabilities offer an early glimpse of how AI models will contribute to scientific progress.
We’ve written an FAQ to answer some of the questions we've received about watermarking.
In summary:
• We’re implementing watermarking to comply with the EU AI Act. Other major model developers have signed the same Code of Practice and will also be implementing watermarking;
• Our watermarking method doesn’t have any practical impact on the quality or content of Claude’s outputs;
• The difference between watermarked and un-watermarked text will not be distinguishable to readers;
• Nothing is added to the text and there are no hidden characters;
• Watermarking doesn’t require extra tokens, and will not be more expensive;
• Watermarks can’t be traced to a specific person, organization, or chat.

Just over 6 months later, Opus 5 now produces near-superhuman level spreadsheets and slide decks that match what a consultant would make. Things are changing fast.
Some of my favorite graphs from Opus 5 launch. We put a ton of work into making this model token efficient across domains while still raising the intelligence bar.
It feels very smooth to use and I prefer it over Fable 5 for many coding tasks.
