Common questions
Claude Opus 5
Answered from the verified figures on this page rather than general guidance.
How much does Claude Opus 5 cost per million tokens?
Claude Opus 5 is listed at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens at standard rates. Output tokens usually dominate real bills, so weigh the output rate more heavily than the input rate.
What is Claude Opus 5's context window?
Claude Opus 5 accepts about 1M tokens of context. That only matters if you routinely send very long documents, large codebases, or multi-turn histories that approach that limit.
What is Claude Opus 5 best for?
Claude Opus 5 is a frontier tier from Anthropic. It suits agentic coding, long-context analysis, multi-step engineering work. Output tokens cost five times input — long generations dominate the bill.
