Claude Opus 5.5 at a glance
Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's Opus-class model and the default main AI in Shorz. Every project leans on the main AI: it writes and structures scripts, writes the prompt for every generated image and clip, reads transcripts and frames to plan Auto Edit's cuts and zooms, and ranks Clipping's moments. Opus 5.5 does all of that for 20% less per token than Opus 5 did.
