> In Anthropic's testing, at its default "medium" effort the model matched or beat Claude Opus 5 at "high" effort on such tasks, in fewer steps and with fewer tokens
Opus 5.5 has been amazing, but I'm confused by how this is worded. It "matched or beat" Opus 5? There is no matching. There is only surpassing. By miles. Like Opus 5 was the biggest disappointment of the year. Opus 5.5 is even better than Fable. I do not understand why they're not acknowledging it for the leap that it is?
