Opus 5.5 leads in agentic coding and knowledge work, and is said to cost 40% less to run than Opus 5 on typical workloads.
Corporate and security steps
Anthropic announced it has opened an office in Singapore and signed an MOU with the country's government to advance safe, responsible AI adoption. An expanded version of its Cyber Verification Program will make advanced cyber capabilities and reduced blocking classifiers available to qualifying security professionals.
