Claude Opus 4.8
O1Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic’s newest and most powerful publicly available model. It is suitable for the most complex tasks. It is Anthropic’s strongest model for complex reasoning, long-horizon agent programming, and highly autonomous work.claude-opus-4-8 does not display thought content by default; you need to set the additional parameter "display": "summarized" to enable it
OpenAI's most powerful O-series model supports official cache hits that halve the input cost.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
LMArena ratings by capability (Bradley-Terry, commonly called Elo). Higher is better.
