Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, running in Adaptive Reasoning Max Effort mode, scored 58 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index against a median of 25 among comparable models. The model handles text and image input with text output and a 1M token context window, but is priced at $4.00 per 1M input tokens and $20.00 per 1M output tokens, both above the reported medians of $2.00 and $10.00. Evaluating it on the Intelligence Index generated 260M tokens and cost $8,708.20 in total.

A developer critiques current AI agent memory systems, arguing most are either locked to a specific vendor's harness, overly complex (requiring vector databases, graph databases and extra LLM calls), or overly abstracted into disconnected fact lists. As an alternative, they propose 'Memoryfields', a much simpler approach that stores agent memory as a straightforward file format rather than a complicated database architecture.
