[00:03] already running it inside Agent OS. Is this the model that changes how you work next few minutes because what I'm about to show you might save you hours this week. Let's get into it. I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie. I help people
[00:16] work done. Today we're talking about Claude Opus 5. It just landed and I've already got it running inside Agent OS. So in this video, I'm going to break at, how it works, and where you can use it starting today. Let's start simple.
[00:30] Claude Opus 5 came out on July 24th, 2026. Anthropic says it gets close to the intelligence of their top model, Claude Fable 5, but built to run far headline here. You're getting near flagship level thinking in a much leaner
[00:42] package. And that matters if you're running AI inside real workflows every Agent OS. Here's what to expect from this update. Opus 5 is now the default model on Claude Max. It's also the strongest model available on Claude Pro.
[00:55] there's a good chance you're already talking to Opus 5 without even changing a setting. Anthropic built this model to be used every single day, not just for one big flashy task, but for the kind of steady, repeated work that actually
[01:09] fills up a work week. That's coding. That's research. That's business tasks. through Agent OS. Now let's talk about how it actually performs because the Frontier Bench, which tests coding and knowledge work, Opus 5 scored 43.3%
[01:25] compared that to Fable 5 at 33.7% and the older Opus 4.8 at just 18.7%. That's more than double the previous Opus model. On Cursor Bench at max effort, Opus 5 lands within half a percent of Fable 5's best score using far less
[01:40] basically getting top-tier coding efficient model. Here's how I'd use this for the AI Profit Boardroom. Anthropic's own testing shows Opus 5 catching root causes in real bugs that other models
[01:54] only patch on the surface. That's exactly the kind of reliability I want the AI Profit Boardroom. A model that actually understands what it's looking instructions on autopilot. Let's keep going because there's more to this
[02:07] going because there's more to this update than just coding. On ARC-AGI-3, problems it's never seen before, Opus 5 scored three times higher than the next best model. Three times. That's not a small gap. On Zapier's automation bench,
[02:20] complete a full business task from start to finish, Opus 5's pass rate 1 and 1/2 times the next best model. And even on its lowest effort setting, it still passes more tasks than any other model out there. On OS World, which tests how
[02:34] computer, Opus 5 beats every other model. It even beats Fable 5's best compute. So, what does that actually mean for how you work? It means Agent OS just got a serious upgrade under the hood. Agent OS is the system I built to
[02:49] workspace. Claude, alongside other agents, all work inside by side with a repeating yourself every single session. directly into Agent OS. That was a simple swap on our end, but it makes a
[03:02] accurately the agents inside Agent OS get things done. If you want the tools I'm using inside Agent OS, along with a full breakdown of how Opus 5 fits into it, that's something we go deep on inside the AI Profit Boardroom. You can
[03:15] get the full zip file inside Agent OS ready to install, and we've built out a complete 30-day roadmap here as a use case for exactly this. Every week we run their exact setup and we work through it together. There's a full walk-through of
[03:28] built specifically for models like Opus 5. If you're watching this and thinking work, that's what the AI Profit Boardroom was built for. Now, let's talk about how Opus 5 actually works when you're using it, because there's a few
[03:41] Anthropic says this model is much stronger at checking its own work. Instead of just producing an answer and moving on, it verifies what it built and keeps iterating until it actually holds up. That shows up in agentic work
[03:54] especially, the kind of multi-step task where a model has to plan, act, check, and adjust without someone hovering over every step. Let's talk about what it thing to work, because this is where it gets interesting. Anthropic showed off
[04:06] two examples when they announced Opus 5, and both of them show a real jump in how the model handles visual and creative output. The first is a wind tunnel simulation. Opus 5 built an interactive tool that visualizes how air actually
[04:19] flows over different shaped objects. Some designed to move through air different settings and watch the air flow change in real time. The second is a cell artifact. Opus 5 built a simplified interactive illustration of a
[04:32] cell, letting you explore each individual part and see how it works. model, not from a designer sitting behind it tweaking things by hand. That surface. A model that can reason clearly about a coding problem is one thing. A
[04:47] model that can also turn an idea into something visual, interactive, and different skill entirely. And that's exactly the kind of output that shows up across Agent OS, whether that's inside Open Design, inside the video editor, or
[05:00] into the workspace. When the model behind those tools gets stronger at building visual interactive output, everything built through Agent OS gets This is also the kind of jump the lovable team pointed out when they
[05:13] biggest leap in the Opus family in a long while, specifically pointing to the animations, the games, and the 3D work coming out of it. That lines up with isn't a model that only got better at writing code behind the scenes. It got
[05:28] actually see, interact with, and hand off without extra polish. That's a meaningful shift for anyone using Agent OS to build client-facing or member-facing work, not just back-end automation. Opus 5 also comes with a
[05:41] fast mode that runs at around two and a half times the normal speed. It uses free speed, but if you're on a deadline and need output quickly, it's there. out in beta. The first is mid-conversation tool changes, so you
[05:55] to partway through a conversation without losing your setup. The second is automatic fallbacks on the API, which means if a request gets flagged, it instead of just stopping dead. For anyone building serious workflows, both
[06:09] of those are genuinely useful. On the safety side, Anthropic is calling Opus 5 its most aligned model yet. It says the model follows Claude's Constitution more closely than Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, or even Fable 5, and shows the lowest rate of
[06:22] deceptive behavior across the testing. Worth noting it's still behind Anthropic's top-tier model Mythos 5 when it comes to cybersecurity and biology-related tasks. So, this isn't being positioned as the most capable
[06:34] positioned as the model that gets near frontier results for daily use, efficient enough to actually use every day. Here's what stands out to me. Opus 5 runs on the exact same token footprint as Opus 4.8 input and output. So, you're
[06:47] getting a model that's scoring more than double what its predecessor scored on anything extra to run it. That's a real jump in efficiency, not just a spec sheet upgrade. Now, who should actually be using this? If you're doing coding
[07:00] especially if you were previously choosing between Opus and Fable based on running knowledge work, research, or business automation, the automation testing it out. And if you're already inside Agent OS like I am, Opus 5 slots
[07:16] straight into that workflow, working alongside your other agents through the same shared memory system. Companies already testing Opus 5 early are seeing Cursus team said it performs close to Fable 5 with many of the same behaviors.
[07:30] bench leaderboard without using more tokens than earlier Claude models. they've seen in the Opus family since version 4.5, especially on animations and front-end builds. That's not just internal Anthropic testing. That's real
[07:44] If you're testing this yourself, start with a task you already know well, model before. That way you can actually feel the difference instead of guessing approach I take with any new model before I trust it inside Agent OS.
[07:59] Second tip, if you're on Claude Max or Claude Pro, you likely already have changing a single setting. Go check which model is running before you assume Third tip, if efficiency matters to you, and it should, remember Opus 5 runs on
[08:13] the exact same token footprint as Opus 4.8. So, there's no reason to stick with the older model unless you have a very specific use case that needs it. That's Claude Opus 5, and that's how it's already working inside Agent OS. A model
[08:25] intelligence, built lean enough for everyday use, plugged straight into a system that lets your agents work side by side. If you want the full process, SOPs, and over 100 AI use cases like this one, join the AI Success Lab. Links
