In partnership with
👋 Welcome to AI Central,
Haiku, Sonnet, Opus, Fable… oh my!
Anthropic added another model this week: it’s called Opus 5.5 and it’s now the default for anyone on a paid plan.
Is it better? On the things most people use Claude for at work, yes. Cheaper too, though that comes with an asterisk.
We’ve put everything you need to know on one page. I’d keep this one by your desk!
Big hug and love you ❤️
