Claude Opus 4.5 example: reading an image into JSON

The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

What is Claude Opus 4.5 good for?

The id for Claude Opus 4.5 in our API is "anthropic/claude-opus-4.5", served from Anthropic. Context is 200,000 tokens; past that you have to summarise the history yourself. A single response can run to 64,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "expensive" band — cheaper than 17 and dearer than 373 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What you get on top of text in, text out: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; it takes files such as PDFs as input; it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.

Input runs at 1,731,097 toman per 1M tokens and output at 8,655,484 — output costs 5× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 173,110 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is GPT-6 Astra Pro (batch), and Claude Opus 4.5 costs about the same, and its context window is smaller. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 7 thousand-word requests on Claude Opus 4.5, and every 1,000 toman is about 74 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 10,386,581 toman in total. Filling this model's 200,000-token window costs 346,219 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. On a thousand-word request this variant works out about 5× more expensive (13,503 against 2,701 toman). On parameters, this one takes verbosity while the other takes top_p.

Anthropic has 24 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Claude Haiku 5.5 (batch) at 135 toman per thousand words and the dearest Claude Opus 4.1 at 40,508. Among the less common parameters it accepts max_completion_tokens, top_k, verbosity — all through the standard request body. It does not support top_p, seed, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is o3 at 200,000 tokens.

Where it makes sense: work where the quality of the answer matters more than its cost, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
