Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Pricing tables rewritten as plain objects

Pricing

Model pricing tables were reformatted, including new five-in and thirty-in rate tiers.

What

Per-model rates are now flat objects, including a 5 in / 25 out / 0.5 cache-read tier and a 30 / 150 tier. The 1M-context flags on Sonnet 4.0, 4.5, 4.6 and Opus 4.6 are unchanged in value; only their formatting moved.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
