Access Claude Opus 5.5 on Lorka and Move From Difficult Prompts to Implementation-Ready Work

The Anthropic model combines high-end coding and knowledge-work performance with lower token prices and more efficient execution.

Agentic coding that completes the workflow

Anthropic reports 66.4% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 at xhigh effort, supporting engineering work that requires planning, editing, testing, and verification.

Repository-scale execution

Handle migrations, audits, refactors, and debugging across large projects; an early tester completed a reported 680K-line migration in less than a day.

Professional analysis with stronger evidence discipline

A reported 1,846 Elo on GDPval-AA v2.1 reflects performance across work from 44 occupations, including finance, research, and business reporting.

Lower typical workload cost

Input and output pricing is $4 and $20 per million tokens, while $0.20 cache reads reduce the cost of repeatedly revisiting codebases and project histories.

Clearer long-session collaboration

Anthropic reports more direct, easier-to-review outputs that help teams follow decisions across extended agentic workflows.

Output: Root cause The product-search endpoint requests inventory data one SKU at a time inside the response loop. A page containing 50 products creates 50 sequential inventory lookups, increasing P95 latency and making the endpoint sensitive to downstream inventory delays.
