Anthropic's official guide to Claude models
The official link, read before the post: we haven't tested it ourselves.
- Anthropic's docs say to start with Opus 5.5 for most work.
- Move up to Fable 5.2 for the hardest reasoning and long agent jobs, not for everything.
- Check the current prices on the official page before you switch.
What we saw: A new Claude dropped on Nov 9: Fable 5.2. Anthropic's own docs still say to start with Opus 5.5 for most work, and to move up to Fable 5.2 for the hardest reasoning and long agent jobs. Which model for what, what they cost, and what to do today. Source: Anthropic newsroom and Claude Platform Docs, Models overview.
