Anthropic Cuts Prices, Raises the Bar

🔥 What happened Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in its new 5.5 family. It costs 40% less than Opus 5, runs over 30% faster, and tops agentic coding benchmarks. 💡 Why it matters One tester migrated 680,000 lines of code in under a day – work that would take an engineering team weeks. Cache reads now cost just $0.20 per million tokens, 60% less than Opus 5. This is a brutal price war in the agentic coding segment. ⚡ Our take Anthropic is delivering both more performance and lower prices – this isn't an increment, it's an assault on the entire coding-agent landscape. Anyone still on older models is burning money.
