Our hourly sweep found an id that was not there an hour ago.
Catalog id: amazon-bedrock/au.anthropic.claude-opus-5-5 Listed price: $4.4/$22 per 1M Context window: 1,000,000 tokens First observed by our sweep: 2026-09-22 16:54 UTC Source: models.dev (amazon-bedrock)
This entry is machine-written from what the sweep actually read, and nothing else. A catalog listing is a primary source for exactly one narrow fact — that this id now exists, at this price, with this context window — and it is not evidence of anything beyond that. It does not tell you the model is good, that the listing is intentional, that the weights are open, or that the vendor has announced it. Those questions need a human and an editor's judgement, and this item deliberately does not answer them.
It maps to Claude Opus 5.5, already on our watchlist — registry note: live — Sep 22 · $4/$20 per MTok, down from Opus 5 at $5/$25 · 1M ctx / 128K out · adaptive thinking always on, default effort medium · cache reads 5% of base input · Anthropic now says start here for most workloads, and Opus 5 is legacy.
The radar reads the public model catalogs every hour and the provider APIs every 60 seconds. Signal texts you the minute a launch is confirmed; free alerts follow by email about 15 minutes later.
