CHANGELOG · 2026

Claude Opus 5.5 is the new default Claude

Anthropic's newest Opus replaces Opus 5 in the model picker and costs less

The model

  • Claude Opus 5.5 (claude-opus-5-5) replaces Opus 5 and is now the recommended Claude model in TeamDay. Anthropic released it on September 22 and tells most teams to start with it.
  • 1M token context window and up to 128k output tokens.
  • Cheaper than Opus 5: $4 / $20 per million tokens (input / output), with cache hits at $0.20.
  • Full reasoning-effort ladder (low → max), defaulting to high.

What happens to Opus 5

  • New chats and agents now default to Opus 5.5.
  • Existing agents and chats set to Opus 5 (or Opus 4.x) move to Opus 5.5 automatically. You don't need to do anything, and the new model costs less.

The Claude lineup in TeamDay

  • Opus 5.5: the default for everyday and complex work.
  • Fable 5.1: the most capable option, for the hardest and longest-running tasks.
  • Sonnet 5: efficient for routine tasks.
  • Haiku 4.5: fastest for quick answers.
