Anthropic rolls out a fast mode for Claude Opus 4.6 in research preview, saying it offers the same model quality 2.5 times faster but costs six times more

Opus is usually $5/million input and $25/million output.  The new fast mode is $30/million input and $150/million output!

Opus models have always been “the real SOTA” but have been cost prohibitive in the past. Claude Opus 4.5 is now at a price point where it can be your go-to model for most tasks. It's the clear winner and exhibits the best frontier task planning and tool calling we've seen yet.

We're a model company again. Coding models typically sacrifice speed over quality, which gives users a trade off when selecting which model to pick in @windsurf, but today, we release SWE-1.5, which outputs at a blistering 950 tokens per second, 13x faster than Sonnet 4.5. Not [image]
