Claude Opus 5.5 Released
CONFIRMED90% CONFIDENCEUnlike the Fable 5.1 announcement, this page dates itself: the header reads “Claude[2] Opus 5.5 September 22, 2026”. TechCrunch's[3] byline (“9:30 AM PDT · September 22, 2026”, “released on Tuesday”) and XDA's 2026-09-22T16:44Z timestamp agree, so the source[1] keeps the claim and the two reports corroborate it.
Anthropic releases Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in a new Claude 5.5 family, which it says matches Claude Fable 5.1 on most work while costing 40% less to run than Opus 5.
