Anthropic Ships Faster Claude Opus Mode
8.2
Anthropic today releases a research-preview 'fast' mode for its Claude Opus 4.6, accessible via /fast in Claude Code and the API, promising a 2.5x faster variant. Fast mode charges $30/million input and $150/million output (50% discount until Feb 16), and Opus 4.6 also offers a 1,000,000-token context option at higher prices; documentation omits measured latency.
Key Points
- 1Announces fast mode for Claude Opus 4.6, offering an experimental 2.5x speedup via /fast.
- 2Details a steep pricing premium—6x normal rates (50% off until Feb 16), shifting cost-performance tradeoffs.

Scoring Rationale
