Opus 5.5 is here! Use it on MEDIUM! Many benchmarks show medium reasoning performing roughly as well, or even better than maximum reasoning, at far lower costs. Most don't show a huge uplift from medium at higher reasoning efforts. Main points from the release: • It writes way better • It's 20% cheaper • It's a lot more token efficient This is a great release!
