⚡ Breaking: Claude Opus 4.5 is Here
Anthropic just dropped Opus 4.5, and this might be the biggest upgrade Claude has ever shipped.
This model isn’t just “better.”
It’s dominant — especially in coding, reasoning, and real tool-use benchmarks.
Opus 4.5 outperforms:
GPT-5.1
Gemini 3 Pro
Claude Opus 4.1
GPT-5.1 Codex-Max
Every other frontier model in agentic coding + tool use
And the numbers are wild.
📊 Key Benchmarks (Opus 4.5 vs the World)
Below is the newly-released full benchmark sheet — and Opus 4.5 crushes every category from coding → computer use → graduate-level reasoning.

Opus 4.5 leads every agentic + coding benchmark — outperforming GPT-5.1, Gemini 3 Pro, and all Claude 4.x models.
💻 Coding Superpowers: Opus 4.5 Breaks SWE-Bench
This is the stat everyone is talking about:
Opus 4.5 SWE-bench Verified score: 80.9%
Highest ever recorded. Higher than GPT-5.1, Gemini 3 Pro, Claude 4.1, and GPT-5.1 Codex-Max.
Here’s the official chart:

Opus 4.5 hits 80.9% on SWE-bench Verified — the strongest software engineering performance of any LLM to date.

🛠️ Agentic Tool Use: This Is the Real Story
Coding is huge — but the real breakthrough might be tool use and autonomous workflows.
Opus 4.5 achieves:
88.9% Retail and 98.2% Telecom on T2 tool-use benchmarks
Massive jumps in multi-step decision-making
Stronger recovery and re-planning abilities
Better reasoning with real APIs, environments & terminal tasks
This is the first Claude model that truly feels agent-ready.
🧠 Massive Gains in Reasoning
Beyond coding, the model saw huge lifts in:
Graduate-level reasoning: 87%
Visual reasoning
Computer use
Multilingual Q&A
Benchmarks that normally trade off against each other have all increased simultaneously — meaning Anthropic pushed across the entire reasoning stack, not just coding.
🚀 Bottom Line
Claude Opus 4.5 isn’t just “the next update.”
This may be the best general-purpose coding + reasoning model in the world right now.
Between SWE-bench dominance, massive agentic improvements, and tool-use performance, this release sets Anthropic up as the biggest threat to GPT-5.1 so far.
And the timing?
Absolutely perfect heading into 2025’s agent wars.
