Models: Claude Opus 5 Now Available

Claude Opus 5 is now available in the Kiro IDE, CLI, and Web. It's a meaningful step up from Opus 4.8 on the hardest agentic coding tasks — setting new state-of-the-art results on leading coding benchmarks, more than doubling Opus 4.8's performance while approaching Fable 5 at half the cost. Excels at multi-file features, large refactors, and end-to-end feature work, completing full tasks rather than leaving stubs or placeholders. Opus 5 verifies its own work and iterates carefully until it succeeds. Multi-agent coordination sees meaningful gains with fewer conflicts between parallel agents. For code review, it finds a high rate of real bugs with low false positives and stays accurate at lower effort settings. Claude Opus 5 is rolling out gradually with experimental support to Kiro Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power customers in us-east-1 and eu-central-1 with cross-region inference. 1M context window. 2.2x credit multiplier. Restart your IDE or CLI to access it from the model selector. Learn more ->
