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.

New industry data shows token usage for AI models has surged more than 25-fold over the past year, doubling in just the last month, even as per-token costs for high-intelligence models continue to fall. Mid-tier models from providers like Google and Meta are now delivering roughly 90% of the capability of pricier flagship systems such as Anthropic's Claude Opus at around one-sixth the cost, intensifying competition on what analysts call the 'Pareto Frontier' of price versus intelligence.
