How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

Claude Opus 5 ranks #4 of 232 on the public leaderboard with a score of 80.66/100. Its source-verified position is #3 of 130.

Claude Opus 5 is a proprietary model with a 1M context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Available on all Claude platforms and through the Claude API as claude-opus-5. It is the default model on Claude Max and the strongest model offered on Claude Pro. Anthropic lists Opus 5 at $5 input / $25 output per million tokens, with Fast mode running around 2.5× the default speed at twice the base price.

Official exact-value snapshot from Anthropic's July 24, 2026 Claude Opus 5 launch post and system card, supplemented by Cursor's live CursorBench 3.2 Max row, Anthropic's Fable 5.1 system card for FrontierSWE v2, Google's Gemini 3.8 comparison for HLE-Verified and LABBench2, and Bug Hunt Bench's max-effort run. We map the highest published effort setting into the canonical row and use the verified high-effort ARC-AGI-3 result because no max-effort score was available at launch. The four added benchmark rows remain display-only.

Its explicit predecessor is Claude Opus 4.8. 73 of 422 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Agentic at #2, while its lowest eligible position is Reasoning at #13. particularly useful for coding agents, browser research, and computer-use workflows.

Frequently asked questions

How does Claude Opus 5 perform overall in AI benchmarks?

Claude Opus 5 ranks #4 out of 232 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 80.66/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 73 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is Claude Opus 5 good for knowledge and understanding?

Claude Opus 5 ranks #3 out of 181 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 82.1/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Claude Opus 5 good for coding and programming?

Claude Opus 5 ranks #3 out of 183 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 75.6/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Claude Opus 5 good for mathematics?

Claude Opus 5 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Claude Opus 5 good for reasoning and logic?

Claude Opus 5 ranks #13 out of 22 eligible models for reasoning and logic, with a public category score of 75.6/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Claude Opus 5 good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

Claude Opus 5 ranks #2 out of 151 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 77.4/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Claude Opus 5 good for multimodal and grounded tasks?

Claude Opus 5 ranks #2 out of 48 eligible models for multimodal and grounded tasks, with a public category score of 88.7/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Claude Opus 5 good for multilingual tasks?

Claude Opus 5 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multilingual tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Does Claude Opus 5 have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Claude Opus 5 currently has 93 source-displayable rows across 422 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of Claude Opus 5?

Claude Opus 5 has a documented context window of 1M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
