Overview

About Claude Opus 4.6

Claude Opus 4.6 is the battle-tested heavyweight of the Claude 4 generation, the model teams standardized on for hard reasoning before the Claude 5 family shipped, and still the price-performance pick for deep work on a known workload. Every model on CompanyFabric shares the same API key, billing balance, and rate-limit envelope, one integration covers the entire library.

Prompting tips

  • State the output format before the task, models follow contracts declared early.
  • Few-shot beats description: two worked examples outperform a paragraph of rules.
  • Cap output length explicitly when cost matters; output tokens dominate most bills.

Exact, metered, prepaid

Claude Opus 4.6 pricing

Claude Opus 4.6 pricing is per token: $5 / M input · $25 / M output. Output tokens cost 5× input tokens, so long generations, not long prompts, are what actually drive most bills. A typical call with a 2k-token prompt and a 1k-token answer costs about $0.0350.

Every call is metered exactly and attributed to your key, the dashboard, the API usage response, and your invoice all read from the same ledger row. Cap any key's monthly spend with a budget cap, and bring your own provider key (BYOK) at 0% platform fee if you already have a direct contract.
