19Claude Opus 5.5 is built for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work, priced at $4 / $20 USD per million input / output tokens. Four breaking changes affect code already running on Claude Opus 5: [thinking can’t be disabled](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5-5/whats-new-opus-5-5#thinking-cant-be-disabled), [forced tool use returns an error](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5-5/whats-new-opus-5-5#forced-tool-use-is-not-supported), [thinking blocks are tied to the model and the conversation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5-5/whats-new-opus-5-5#thinking-blocks-are-tied-to-the-model-that-produced-them), and, on the Claude API and Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed), [the earlier `computer_20251124` computer use tool is not accepted](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5-5/whats-new-opus-5-5#computer-20251124-is-not-supported). The first three also apply on Claude Fable 5.1. A further change alters the response shape without failing any request: [text between tool calls comes back in `thinking` blocks](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5-5/whats-new-opus-5-5#text-between-tool-calls) whose text is empty at the default `display` setting. An application that streams that text to its users as progress updates goes quiet between tool calls until it sets a `display` value that returns the text.
