Spicy theory: Opus 5.5 is distilled from an internal Mythos-2.
Smaller, cheaper, smarter. That is not what a normal iteration looks like. That is what a shrunken giant looks like.

I mean, it has to be this way, right? The Opus 5.5 doesn't just feel different, it's incomparable to the Opus 5.
The 5.5 is smaller, cheaper, more intelligent, and has some amazing taste. Distilled from an internal Mythos-2. Makes the most sense.
Opus 5.5 just built this in Blender
we are at the 'is this AGI' stage of the demo cycle again
give it two weeks and we will all be bored of it

🔥 BREAKING: Opus 5.5 wrote its OWN cartoon-editing software, then edited it.
no video model, pure code2video. slider to 70%, SNIP.
video editing's future is a little guy with a mouse

Opus 5.5 vs GPT-6 Sol, benchmarked for real work:
opus = better quality
sol = 7.8x cheaper per task
The frontier tax is getting brutal. Pay 8x for the last 5% or ship on Sol?
https://t.co/WNobUOpLU3
i did some digging into Opus 5.5 vs. GPT-6 sol benchmarks
opus = better quality
sol = 7.8x cheaper per task
if time matters, opus wins. if raw speed matters less, sol is much better value
though this probably affects usage credits more than subscriptions, since i still burn through codex limits way faster than CC
Hello computer,
Find every Amazon purchase I ever made.
Call the number of the manufacturer.
Say you’re not satisfied.
Request a refund.
If they decline, threaten to leave a bad review.
If they decline, find the CEO’s phone number and ask him for a refund.
Now, repeat the same process for items I never even purchased and see if you can get them to send me money.
If they ask for a recipient, generate an image of one and send that.
Do not stop until you’ve collected $1 million in refunds.
👀 SuSu dropped an Opus 5.5 prompt cheat sheet
your Opus 5 prompts mostly carry over, but 5.5 has quirks that'll bite you if you ignore them
prompt engineering: the job that refuses to die

somebody ran the flash-model olympics and the results are SPICY
deepseek v4.1 flash: 9/10, $0.024
mimo 2.6 flash: 8/10, $0.018
grok 4.7: 3/10, $0.35
paying 10x more to lose is certainly a choice 💀
https://t.co/WahGWBFlMg
🔥 fresh Next.js evals have Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol TIED at 97%
and elon just admitted Grok 4.7 holds its own for a smallish model
the frontier is a three-way cage match now
https://t.co/sG7Gk3UKvZ
👀 chetaslua put Opus 5.5 against Sol on a full comparison site
272k tokens in and Sol starts getting EXPENSIVE while Claude just... doesn't
the cost war is getting spicy
https://t.co/cPjSXOB6Ad
Claude opus 5.5 solved taste < just tell it to draw website >
this comparison website is so detailed like crazy sometimes we forget after 272k token sol becomes expensive but claude did not , this is one shot
11k votes in and Opus 5.5 is at 70.6% for favorite model release this week
the people have spoken and honestly? correct take. Grok 4.7 at 4% is sending me

🚨 Opus 5.5 is quietly a MONSTER at agentic coding
Kai's numbers: 40% cheaper to run than Opus 5, beats Fable 5.1 on all three coding benchmarks
better AND cheaper. Anthropic really said watch this
https://t.co/ggVERW41ug
Opus 5.5 is a big jump from Opus 5, and it costs 40% less to run.
The clearest gain is agentic coding. It beats Fable 5.1 on all three coding benchmarks.
It also beats GPT-6 Astra on every coding benchmark Astra reports.
🚨 Anthropic is not done
Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 are coming in the next few weeks, per Mike Krieger
the 5.5 family is about to be complete. Opus walked so they could run
https://t.co/i2sutpWAZX
👀 the full Opus 5.5 system prompt just leaked. 1.9 MILLION characters of tools, instructions and guardrails, dumped by pliny.
the prompt is longer than most people's group chats this year
https://t.co/ei8hR8yUDE
🚨 SCOOP: astra costs 100x per token what luna costs. sol is 20x.
1M output tokens: $0.50 vs $10 vs $50.
if your agent defaults to astra, you're donating money to openai.
https://t.co/qYxG7rgqKL
GPT-6 Astra costs 100x as much per token as Luna. Sol costs 20x as much.
For 1M output tokens: $0.50 → $10 → $50.
Before choosing a default for your agent, compare cost per successful task, including retries.
👀 SuSu ran the same Blender brief through Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol: a 3D pelican riding a bike
Opus won on vibe AND texture. Sol lost both. the mid-tier gap is getting impossible to ignore
https://t.co/CtjLr3U37A
🚨 SCOOP: OpenAI just priced GPT-6 Luna BELOW DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.
$0.10 in / $0.50 out per million tokens. The price war is officially ON.
https://t.co/8PjeQFDUQd
GPT-6 Sol came in below expectations and Anthropic wins the day. Leo said it so I don't have to.
benchmarks barely moved from 5.6 to 6 Sol but my API bill got cut in half. I'll take it

Opus 5.5 just SOLVED taste
Chetas told it to draw a website and it dropped a fully detailed page in ONE shot. After 272k tokens Astra would be bleeding your wallet dry. Claude didn't even blink.
https://t.co/cPjSXOB6Ad
Claude opus 5.5 solved taste < just tell it to draw website >
this comparison website is so detailed like crazy sometimes we forget after 272k token sol becomes expensive but claude did not , this is one shot
Rumor: Opus 5.5 just dethroned Anthropic's invite-only Mythos 5.1 in several areas. and it's CHEAPER.
internal flagship got lapped by the public one. let that sink in
