Write and analyze with Claude Opus 5.5
Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's most capable model, released on September 22, 2026, and it costs less than Opus 5, which it replaces at the top of the family. It is more precise on long tasks, writes more clearly and reports on what it did, which matters when a Text node writes a script, a character bible or a series of prompts for a whole chain. It reads the images and PDFs connected to the node. On the canvas, it is the writer to reach for when a text has to be right the first time.
The best Claude, for less
Claude Opus 5.5, released on September 22, 2026, takes the top of the Claude family with a rare twist: it costs less than Opus 5, four dollars per million input tokens and twenty for output, against five and twenty-five. It is more precise on long tasks, uses fewer tokens to finish a job and reports clearly on what it did.
On the canvas, it is the writer for texts that matter: a full script, a character bible, a consistent series of prompts for a whole chain of nodes. It reads the images and PDFs connected to the Text node, a reference board, a client brief. Opus 5 stays in the catalog for the workflows that use it.
