Anthropic has launched Opus 4.5, its latest model, which shows significant improvements in coding tasks and user experience. A key feature is the enhanced conversation memory across all Claude models in consumer apps. Previously, conversations could abruptly end when they hit a hard limit of 200,000 tokens. Instead of trimming older messages, Claude would just stop. Now, it summarizes key points from earlier messages to maintain a coherent flow, which should improve usability for those engaged in longer chats. In terms of performance, Opus 4.5 has achieved an accuracy score of 80.9 percent on the SWE-Bench Verified benchmark, surpassing OpenAI’s GPT-5.1-Codex-Max at 77.9 percent and Google's Gemini 3 Pro at 76.2 percent. It excels particularly in agentic coding and tool use but still trails behind GPT-5.1 in visual reasoning tasks. This marks a significant step for Anthropic in competing with leading models from OpenAI and Google, emphasizing both performance and user engagement in a rapidly evolving AI landscape.
