It beats opus 5.5's max effort with less tokens, which is a step forward if you don't want to crank it to Ultra Max Settings.

The amount of compute it cost to get the best previous performance from anthropic went down. Nobody is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to go further down the paretto frontier if the current level of intelligence/task is acceptable to you.

I saw one benchmark where Opus 5.5 max benched worse than opus 5.5 high, using "max" on any model seems foolish, but for opus 5.5 especially, where it seems to degrade at xhigh and max.
