Why this status

Modalities read from Anthropic's model documentation as it stood on 2025-05-26, which lists this model as: “Claude Opus 4 Our most powerful and capable model Text and image input Text output 200k context window Superior reasoning capabilities.” The current documentation no longer lists it, so the contemporaneous snapshot is cited rather than the live page.

Pricing

The price a lab's own page showed on the day that page was captured. That is what a snapshot can prove; it is not necessarily the launch price, and prices are often cut later. Citing the live pricing page instead would give a number with no date at all.

Input $15 per million tokens observed November 19, 2025 · archived snapshot (2025-11-19)

Benchmarks

Each row is a dated claim by a named party, not a property of the model. A later revision adds a row rather than replacing one. This project publishes no composite or overall score.

Current information, elsewhere

This record is a historical one: every figure above is traced to a dated primary source. For what is true today — live pricing, current rankings, availability — these are better maintained than anything here could be.

What changed from Claude 3 Opus

Compared with the previous release in this series. A field appears only when both records state a value — where one does not, it is listed as uncomparable rather than dropped, because a gap in our research is not a finding about the model.
