What to know about Claude Opus 5
AI-compiled from linked model documentation. This is a catalog reference, not an independent performance review. Catalog checked October 23, 2026.
What dates are documented for Claude Opus 5?
Knowledge cutoff: May 2026. Source This labels the documented knowledge boundary; it is not a promise that every earlier fact is known or correct. The source labels this “Reliable knowledge cutoff.”
Training-data cutoff: May 2026. Source This describes the reported data boundary, not the day training finished. The source labels this “Training data cutoff.”
Release date: July 24, 2026. Source This is a release milestone, not a knowledge or training cutoff. The source labels this “Released.”
Retrieval or web tools can supply newer information at run time. That does not change the model's recorded training or knowledge dates, and this record does not establish that a particular endpoint includes those tools.
Which Claude Opus 5 does this page describe?
Claude Opus 5 is a model record from Anthropic in the Claude Opus family. Source
The recorded model identifier or checkpoint is claude-opus-5. Use that exact identifier when checking documentation or a provider listing. Source
How can you access Claude Opus 5?
The catalog documents API access for Claude Opus 5. Source
As of the catalog check, this version was listed as available. Source
For API use, confirm the exact model identifier, your account and region, and the endpoint's current limits in the linked documentation. An API listing does not establish access through a consumer subscription.
What are Claude Opus 5's context and output limits?
The documented context window is 1,000,000 tokens. Source
The documented maximum output is 128,000 tokens. Source
Context, input and output limits describe different constraints. Do not add the figures together to infer a larger window. Check the endpoint's accounting for conversation history, system instructions, tools, media and generated tokens; a documented maximum is not a guarantee of answer quality or a measured usable capacity.
What can Claude Opus 5 receive and generate?
Documented inputs: text and image. Source
Documented outputs: text. Source
Input support and output generation are separate capabilities. Reading an image does not establish image generation; a text output listing does not establish speech output. File sizes, formats and media limits depend on the documented implementation.
