Flagship Claude model for deep reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agents
Claude Opus 4.5 by anthropic is offered by 27 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 26 of them. Its official list price is $5.00 per 1M input tokens and $25.00 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is QiHang at $0.71 / $3.57 per 1M, about 8.5× below the list price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
Artificial Analysis rates it 29.1 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $1.43 per 1M, that is roughly 20 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 49 tokens per second, with 15.75s to the first token.
The context window is 200,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 196,608 to 200,000, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, and PDF. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2025-05.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

The same benchmark scores very differently across harness / dataset, so the qualifying conditions must be shown together.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
