About Claude Opus 4.6

Claude Opus 4.6 by Anthropic is available on API Many from $4.40 per million input tokens and $8.80 per million output tokens, and you call it with the same API key you use for every other model.

It accepts OpenAI-style chat requests with streaming and tools, has a 1M context window and can return up to 1,000,000 tokens per response.

Claude models also speak the Anthropic Messages API at /v1/messages, so the official Anthropic SDK works by changing only the base URL.

Prompt caching is supported: cached input tokens are billed at the lower cached rate shown in the price table.

You pay only for successful results: failed or rejected requests are refunded automatically, and every call is recorded in your console with its exact cost.
