Claude Opus 5 now available on AI Gateway
Claude Opus 5 from Anthropic is now available on Vercel's AI Gateway, offering improved performance for agentic coding tasks, multi-file handling, and larger refactors. The model includes reasoning capabilities by default, enhanced vision for charts and documents, effective tool use coordination for multi-agent workflows, and support for fast mode to reduce tokens and latency.

Opus 5 improves on previous Opus models for long-horizon agentic coding, handling multi-file features, larger refactors, and end-to-end feature work, and completing full tasks rather than leaving stubs or placeholders.
Opus 5 is effective at low and medium effort, which produce quality at a fraction of the tokens and latency of higher settings. Vision is stronger on charts, documents, diagrams, and UI replication, and Opus 5 makes effective use of tools to analyze, crop, and verify visual work. It also coordinates teams of subagents well, which suits multi-agent workflows.
Reasoning is on by default. In AI SDK 7, set the reasoning effort with the top-level option, from up to , or :reasoningminimalxhighnone
Like Fable 5, Opus 5 ships with elevated cybersecurity safeguards, so benign security work can occasionally trigger a safety classifier and get blocked. To add a backstop, use AI Gateway's model fallbacks. List backup models in a array under , and the gateway tries them in order when the primary model fails. The same option works across every AI Gateway API format.modelsproviderOptions.gateway
Opus 5 is compatible with .Zero Data Retention
To enable fast mode, pass in the provider options in AI SDK:speed: 'fast'anthropic
Opus 5 can be served by more than one provider. To see every provider serving it, along with per-provider pricing, supported parameters, uptime, throughput, and latency, call the model endpoints API:
Route your coding agent through AI Gateway to run Opus 5 with unified spend tracking, model fallbacks, and access to every model.
Run to detect the agents on your machine, provision a key, and write their config. See how to .vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setupset it up in Claude Code
