🚀Function Overview

A high-capability Opus model upgrade with adaptive effort control, longer-context operational stability, and improved long-horizon coding behavior.

Key Features

  • Same Opus-tier model positioning as Anthropic flagship with 1M context and 128k max output on most surfaces
  • Adaptive thinking with effort control (high default) for demand-sensitive reasoning
  • Fewer wasted thinking tokens on simple tasks plus stronger tool triggering behavior
  • Long-horizon agentic coding support, including better compaction handling
  • Fast mode on Claude API is available as research preview for higher throughput

Use Cases

  • Complex engineering tasks with high autonomy requirements
  • Long-horizon code refactors and repository modernization
  • Tool-heavy coding workflows where missed tool calls are costly
  • High-stakes production assistant loops requiring better compaction stability
  • Comparative frontier-model routing where speed/quality tradeoffs are controlled by effort

⚙️Input Parameters

prompt

string

The prompt to send to the model

image

string

Optional input image; images are priced as (width px * height px)/750 input tokens

system_prompt

string

System prompt for policy, constraints, and instruction hierarchy

max_tokens

integer

Maximum number of output tokens to generate

effort

string

Controls reasoning effort for adaptive thinking. The Opus 4.8 default is high.

speed

string

Optional output mode such as `fast` on supported Claude API surfaces.

max_image_resolution

number

Optional image-resolution cap (megapixels) to reduce image token consumption

💡Usage Examples

Example 1

Input Parameters

{
  "prompt": "Refactor this authentication module to support multi-tenant role delegation and add defensive validation paths.",
  "system_prompt": "You are a senior engineer. Preserve backward compatibility and provide migration-safe changes.",
  "effort": "high",
  "speed": "fast",
  "max_tokens": 4096,
  "max_image_resolution": 0.6
}

Output Results

I’d treat this as a staged migration across five surfaces: type modeling, authorization guardrail, session cache, error handling, and test coverage.
Step 1: create a role resolution adapter that keeps existing tokens valid while adding tenant-scoped assertions.
Step 2: normalize auth claims so downstream service contracts do not break during rollout.
Step 3: add explicit audit events for authorization failures and scope escalation.
Step 4: update regression tests for denied access, admin override, and delegated access edge cases.
Step 5: deploy behind a feature flag with observability checks and rollback triggers tied to auth latency and authorization error-rate.
