## Verdict

Claude Opus 5 is Anthropic's flagship reasoning model with a million-token context window and strong multimodal capabilities across text, images, and files. At $5 input / $25 output per Mtok, it sits at the premium end of pricing — roughly 2.5× more expensive than GPT-4o for output tokens.
