Both models show comparable benchmark performance. Claude Opus 4.5 is available on 3 providers. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Anthropic
Claude Opus 4.5, released by Anthropic in November 2025, is a large language model from the Claude 4.5 family built for demanding reasoning tasks, advanced code generation, and complex agentic workflows. It features a 200K token context window, 64K maximum output tokens, native image understanding, and extended thinking with configurable effort levels. Opus 4.5 targets deep analytical work, multi-step tool orchestration, and applications requiring sustained reasoning across long, complex tasks.
OpenAI
GPT-5 Pro is an extended-reasoning variant from the GPT-5 family that applies more compute per response for deeper, more thorough answers on complex problems. It features the same 400K token context window and multimodal capabilities as GPT-5, with additional reasoning depth suited to research-grade analysis, advanced coding, and tasks requiring comprehensive, accurate outputs.
