Model Card
Claude Opus 4.8 Fast is a high-speed configuration of Anthropic's latest flagship model, delivering up to 2.5x faster output token generation at significantly lower cost than previous fast variants.
It runs the same Opus 4.8 model — which improves on Opus 4.7 in agentic coding (69.2% vs 64.3%), multidisciplinary reasoning with tools (57.9% vs 54.7%), and knowledge work — but optimized for lower latency. Fast mode pricing is $10/$50 per million input/output tokens, three times cheaper than fast mode for Opus 4.6 and 4.7 ($30/$150). It supports the full 1M token context window and 128k max output tokens.
Choose Opus 4.8 Fast for latency-sensitive agentic pipelines, live coding sessions, and real-time workflows where throughput matters. For cost-sensitive or batch workloads, standard Opus 4.8 offers the same intelligence at half the price.

More AI Models From Anthropic
Claude Opus 4.8
Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's latest flagship AI model, building on Opus 4.7 with improvements across coding, reasoning, and knowledge work — at the same price point. The model excels at complex, multi-step agentic workflows including coding, financial analysis, legal reasoning, and browser-based computer use. Early testers report it outperforms both prior Opus models and GPT-5.5 across several agentic benchmarks. Notably, it's around four times less likely than Opus 4.7 to let flaws in generated code pass without flagging them. Opus 4.8 supports configurable effort levels, letting developers trade quality against speed and token cost. A fast mode operates at 2.5× speed. Priced at $5/$25 per million input/output tokens, it targets teams running autonomous agents, analysis pipelines, and long-running async workflows where reliability and judgment are critical.
ChatClaude Opus 4.7 Fast
Claude Opus 4.7 Fast is a high-speed configuration of Anthropic's most capable model, delivering up to 2.5x faster output token generation with no reduction in quality or capabilities. It runs the same Opus 4.7 model — which scores 87.6% on SWE-bench Verified (up from 80.8% on Opus 4.6), 94.2% on GPQA Diamond, and 69.4% on Terminal-Bench 2.0 — but optimized for lower latency at premium pricing ($30/$150 per MTok). It supports the full 1M token context window and 128k max output tokens. Fast mode benefits are focused on output tokens per second, not time to first token. It is ideal for latency-sensitive agentic workflows, live coding sessions, and real-time tasks where response speed matters. For cost-sensitive or batch workloads, standard Opus 4.7 offers the same intelligence at lower cost.
ChatClaude Opus 4.7
Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's most capable generally available model, built for complex reasoning and agentic coding. It offers a step-change improvement in long-horizon agentic work over its predecessor, Opus 4.6, along with strong gains in knowledge work, vision, and file-system-based memory. The model supports a 1M-token context window, 128k max output tokens, and adaptive thinking. It introduces high-resolution image input (up to 2576px / 3.75MP), a new `xhigh` effort level for demanding coding tasks, and task budgets (beta) that let the model self-moderate token usage across an agentic loop. Priced at $5 / $25 per million input/output tokens. Best suited for developers building autonomous agents, multi-step coding workflows, and vision-heavy pipelines where reliability and depth of reasoning matter most.
