In one line each

Claude Opus 5: Anthropic's fourth release in two months and the new overall #1: tops the AA Intelligence Index (60.7) and the Agentic Index (55.3) with 1M context, default thinking and computer use, at unchanged Opus pricing. Near-Fable quality at half the price.

GPT-5.6 Sol: OpenAI's new flagship and #1 on the public AA index snapshot: max reasoning effort, programmatic tool calling, and an 'ultra mode' that spins up subagents. The model to beat for hard reasoning and agentic work.
