In one line each

Claude Opus 5: Anthropic's July flagship: 1M context, thinking on by default, computer use, and the Agentic Index lead, at unchanged Opus pricing. The default choice for long agentic runs where you want one model to hold the whole task.

GPT-5.6 Sol: OpenAI's July flagship: max reasoning effort, programmatic tool calling and an 'ultra mode' that spins up subagents. Since GPT-6 Astra arrived at double the output price, Sol is the better-value half of OpenAI's line for agentic work.
