Claude Opus 5.5 promises to cut the chatter
The successor to the notoriously chatty Claude Opus 5, the updated Opus model seems less prone to rambling about “loose ends” and other dangling threads. Credit: Ben Patterson/Foundry Better coding performance, improved safety and “alignment,” and greater value are among Anthropic’s selling points for its latest Claude Opus model. But for many Claude Opus users, one particular Opus 5.5 promise stands out: less chatter.
