Claude Opus 5.5 scores 82.0% overall on Roboflow's Vision Evals (October 26, 2026 snapshot), #4 of 65 models (Gemini 4 Argon leads at 87.5%).
Its best task is counting (80.6%, #3 of 65) and it ranks lowest on identification (93.8%, #9 of 65), a task most models score well on. It is a proprietary model from Anthropic, so commercial use follows Anthropic's terms.

View all Vision Evals →Claude Opus 5.5 is a proprietary multimodal reasoning model from Anthropic and the first entry in the Claude 5.5 family. It accepts interleaved text and image input and returns text, with a one million token context window and up to 128,000 output tokens per response. Adaptive thinking is always enabled on this model and cannot be disabled; thinking depth is instead governed by an effort parameter with five levels, where medium is the default, a change from the high default used by Claude Opus 5 and earlier Opus models. Anthropic reports a knowledge cutoff of June 2026.
Claude Opus 5.5 costs $4.00 per 1M input tokens and $20.00 per 1M output tokens.

Claude Opus 5.5 runs as a hosted REST endpoint through Roboflow Workflows. Pick a task, then hand the prompt to your coding agent or copy the code. Deploying the workflow into a free Roboflow workspace replaces the your-workspace and YOUR_API_KEY placeholders with your own.
Add the Roboflow MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http roboflow https://mcp.roboflow.com/mcp
Run /mcp and authorize Roboflow in your browser when the OAuth flow opens.
Start a new Claude Code session so the MCP loads, then paste the prompt below (it works the same in any agent).
Deploy this workflow to your Roboflow workspace to use it.
Integrate the Roboflow "Claude Opus 5.5" workflow into my app.
- Endpoint: POST https://serverless.roboflow.com/<your-workspace>/workflows/claude-opus-5-5-captioning
- Auth: send my Roboflow API key as `api_key` in the request body, read from the ROBOFLOW_API_KEY env var (never hardcode).
- Body: { "api_key": ..., "inputs": { `image`: { type: "url" | "base64", value } } }.
- Billing: this workflow needs no provider API key — inference runs on my Roboflow credits. A BYO provider key can be added to the model step in the Roboflow workflow editor later.
With the Roboflow MCP connected, call `workflows_get` on "claude-opus-5-5-captioning" to read the exact input schema (the source of truth), then `workflows_run` on a sample image to confirm the output shape before writing code (the MCP is authenticated, so this needs no key). Without the MCP, use the contract above.
Before running the app, set up these keys so it does not error at runtime:
- `ROBOFLOW_API_KEY` (sent as `api_key`) from https://app.roboflow.com/settings/api
Create a .gitignore'd .env with these variables, using placeholder values for any I haven't given you. Then pause and tell me directly, in your reply: the full path to the .env file, exactly which keys I need to paste in, and the link to get each one. Wait for me to confirm I've added them before you run anything. Do not run the app until I confirm.
Then add the integration to my codebase: match my project's language, framework, and conventions; read every key from environment variables (never hardcode); add basic error handling; and include a small runnable example. If you can't tell what language my project uses, ask me.pip install inference-sdkDeploy this workflow to your Roboflow workspace to use it.
