We've launched Claude Opus 5.5 (claude-opus-5-5), a model for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work. It has a 1M token context window by default, 128k max output tokens, and always-on adaptive thinking, at $4 / $20 USD per MTok (Claude Opus 5 is $5 / $25). Claude Opus 5.5 is available on the Claude API, Claude in Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Claude on Google Cloud, and Claude in Microsoft Foundry. See What's new in Claude Opus 5.5 for capabilities, API changes, and migration guidance.

Omit the thinking field and control thinking depth with the effort parameter. tool_choice types any and tool also return a 400 error, as on Claude Fable 5.1; use auto with strict tool use. On the Claude API and Google Cloud, computer use on this model requires the computer_toolset_20260801 toolset and the earlier computer_20251124 tool returns a 400 error; on Amazon Bedrock, computer_20251124 keeps working. See the migration guide. Fast mode (research preview) is available for Claude Opus 5.5 on the Claude API. Tools can now be defined inside a m
