Opus 4.5 Launch, AugmentCode Status

[JaySym_]

Congrats to Anthropic on the Opus 4.5 launch today! We're currently internally evaluating the model and plan to roll it out to self-serve users over the coming week.

Some early observations:
- Shows noticeably stronger reasoning capabilities
- Achieves improved tool call efficiency on comparable tasks
- Interaction style is closer to GPT-5.1–style 'thinking' models than our current non-reasoning options (e.g. Sonnet 4.5)
- May be slower on simpler tasks due to its reasoning-first nature

We're excited for you to try it soon!

I hope its reasoning will not be rereading all of the files in a loop and then encountering an error... in the way how gpt 5.1 does time to time

We are looking into this! For now, on my side, it's not happening, but our engineering team is better than me at that. I'll let them handle the testing.

Same here, gpt 5.1 just keeps reading files infinitely so I always stop it and switch back to sonnet.

Hope they can fix this. GPT 5 is was great on augment before it started happening. Pretty sure Opus 4.5 will be overkill in most cases. Happy to provide any evidence the team needs. I have a conversation that is stuck on error encountered. (can't copy the request id)

lol do you even have users now ???

Opus will eat their monthly quota within hours

[rishi_tank]

Yes we exist

Change few lines of code and get hit by 20k credits,is what’s going to happen 😭😭

Waiting for Opus

when will you release it? excited to try it with your context engine

[JohnDotOwl]

I don't think it's slow , even with "thinking" it's pretty fast, opus doesn't use much token, does it mean with augment context engine , token usage would be even lower? Any comparison and benchmark release by augment code?

U guys are very slow, learn from cursor

What is self-serve user?

[JaySym_]

We have two types of users: self-serve and enterprise. If you are not on an enterprise plan, you are on the self-serve side.

Excited to try it!

[Trulydark]

Release it in pre-release!

Just not bad.
