Anthropic and OpenAI cut frontier model prices on the same day
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 at $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output, down from $25 output on the previous Opus, and called it the strongest model it has tested. OpenAI answered with GPT-6 Sol and Luna at half the price of the models they replace, and says Sol makes about half as many mistakes as its predecessor.
NoteFor a bank's AI budget, price matters more than any benchmark. Statement analysis, KYC checks and document reading are high-volume jobs, and every cut like this moves more of them past the ROI line.
