Claude 3 Opus was Anthropic’s flagship reasoning model, released March 4, 2024, designed for complex tasks requiring deep analysis and long-context understanding. Originally priced at $15\/million input tokens and $75\/million output via API, it was available on Claude.ai Pro and through AWS\/Google Cloud. As of January 2026, Claude 3 Opus is deprecated and scheduled for full retirement on January 5, 2026\u2014users should migrate to Claude Opus 4.1 for continued support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Claude 3 Opus?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Claude 3 Opus represented the flagship tier of Anthropic’s original Claude 3 family, optimized for maximum reasoning capability over speed or cost. The model excelled at graduate-level analysis, nuanced writing, complex problem-solving, and multi-step reasoning tasks where accuracy mattered more than latency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built on constitutional AI principles, Claude 3 Opus maintained a 200K token context window, allowing it to process entire codebases, long research papers, or comprehensive documents in single interactions. For the ~18 months it was available (March 2024-January 2026), it was the go-to choice for organizations requiring frontier-level intelligence without compromise. However, it has been superseded by Claude Opus 4.1, which is more capable and remains actively supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
