Anthropic Introduces Claude Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5

By Nikhil Kosuri · November 02, 2026

Anthropic just dropped Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 — and the timing tells you everything.

Opus 5.5 costs 40% less to run on typical workloads. Sonnet 5.5 runs 30% faster and costs up to 30% less. Both announced today, two weeks before their mid-November IPO filing goes live.

This isn't a product release. It's a pre-IPO signal to enterprise buyers: we can compete on performance AND unit economics. When you're courting CIOs ahead of a public offering, cost-per-task matters as much as capability.

The deck breaks down what changed, where the savings show up, and what it means for teams running customer experience automation at scale.
