The Opus 5 Launch-Day Kit — the Full 12-Benchmark Table (Wins AND Losses), the Effort-Dial Cheat Sheet & the 5-Minute Setup

The companion to the full video on Claude Opus 5's launch (July 24, 2026 — every surface, $5/$25 per million tokens, exactly half of Fable 5). The half-price model took the top score on 7 of 12 benchmarks on Anthropic's own comparison table — and this kit is the honest, use-it-today version of the whole announcement. INSIDE: (1) THE SCOREBOARD — all 12 benchmark rows with every model's number (Opus 5, Fable 5, Opus 4.8, GPT-5.6 Sol), the 7 wins AND the 4 losses clearly marked (DeepSWE, FrontierCode, Legal, Health), plus what each benchmark actually measures. (2) THE EFFORT-DIAL CHEAT SHEET from Anthropic's own curves — why LOW effort already beats every competitor on business workflows, why HIGH is the daily value zone, and the trap: on two separate launch charts MAX effort scores slightly BELOW x-high. (3) THE ROUTING RULE (the money part) — Opus 5 as daily default, Fable 5 as the last-half-percent specialist, small models for bulk, anchored by the OSWorld result: Fable's best score beaten at a third of the cost. (4) THE 5-MINUTE SETUP for every surface — claude.ai Max/Pro, Claude Code /model + effort settings, the claude-opus-5 API ID, Fast mode math, and both day-one betas: mid-conversation tool changes (cache-safe) and automatic fallbacks. (5) THE PROOF PAGE — Lovable +22%, Box +17% due diligence, Citadel +9pts at 60% less time, Goldman Sachs at 1/7th the reasoning tokens, Zapier's 100% AutomationBench run, the three launch-post case studies, and the trust numbers (2.30 behavioral-audit score — lowest of any recent Claude). Every number verified against anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5 on launch day. Independent kit from Hyperautomation Labs — not affiliated with Anthropic.
