Half the cost per task compared to Opus 5, comparing high effort to high effort. That's just really nice.

That is a lot. I thought Anthropic models would just do the opposite because they are greedy for money.
Astra High is slightly cheaper at $1.73 vs $1.82 for Opus 5.5
Nice catch, AA only shows max effort by default and I got disappointed thinking it's a token guzzler though: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/claude-opus-5-5?models=...
Not sure about how adaptive reasoning works though as they mention adaptive reasoning for every reasoning level
Tasks are completed in about half the time too. Although we'll see if it slows down in a few weeks as Anthropic's model services are prone to do.
