At launch, Claude Opus 5 was the default model for Claude Max and the strongest model in Claude Pro. It followed Claude Opus 4.8 and, according to Anthropic, brought much of Claude Fable 5’s capability into a generally available Opus model.

The provider reported more than twice Opus 4.8’s Frontier-Bench v0.1 result and a 0.5% gap to Fable 5 on CursorBench 3.2 at maximum effort. These are vendor comparisons. For controlled cybersecurity work, Claude Mythos 5 remained the more specialized option.
