Anthropic counters GPT-6 Astra with Opus 5.5
Anthropic's Opus 5.5 responds to GPT-6 Astra by ranking above it, costing 40% less, resetting usage limits through October 22, and offering $100–$250 in trial credits.
The team at Anthropic found a way to make a comeback no one saw coming When everything looked like OpenAI took the crown with the release of GPT-6 Astra and would sustain it till the end of the year, Dario and his talented team dropped Opus 5.5 and brought in an extra limit reset that lasts till Oct 22 And they didn't stop there: - As smart as Fable 5.1 but 40% cheaper - Now ranked above GPT-6 Astra - More usage before you hit your limit, 20% more in Claude Code - Claude Code keeps working even when your laptop is off - Free credit to try it: $100 for Pro, $250 for Max - Claude Code now finishes its task properly when you hit your limit - Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 are coming soon (next week?) what a way to swing the ball in your favour
