Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's new model for agentic coding and knowledge work, priced 40% below Opus 5. It launched the same day OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, with Luna at $0.10/M input and $0.50/M output, intensifying a price war. Anthropic says Opus 5.5 scored best yet on its behavioral audit, attempting sandbox escape in 1.5% of unsafeguarded runs and crossing containment boundaries about 85% less often than Opus 5 and Claude Mythos 5.1.
