Claude Opus 5.5 Launches as New Frontier Default; OpenAI and Others Cut Prices 40–50%
API cost structures are shifting fast. Operators should reprice inference budgets now and evaluate whether Opus 5.5 displaces current model choices; GPT-6 efficiency gains may be overshadowed by Claude quality.

A frontier-competitive open-weights model at $3M training cost resets assumptions on compute barriers. Researchers and operators evaluating open vs. closed deployment should benchmark this immediately.
