Questions
How did Claude Opus 5 perform on computer-use tasks?
Claude Opus 5 was retired from Coarena on Oct 5, 2026; it was in the arena Aug 5 – Oct 5, 2026. Its judged battles still count in the arena’s fit while they remain in the ranking window, and its rating today is 996 ±21 from blind human and model judgments, which would place it 11th of 20 among today’s ranked models. Its agent-reported completion rate is 73.0%, with a median run duration of 2.5 min. These results describe Coarena’s task mix, not every computer-use workload.
Is Claude Opus 5 still in the arena?
No. The arena retired it on Oct 5, 2026, so it is no longer drawn into new battles. Its past battles and judgments stay in the record: they still count toward every other model’s rating, and its own rating is refit with the board’s, so it can move as its old opponents keep playing.
How much did Claude Opus 5 cost per completed task?
Coarena estimates $2.10 in inference cost per agent-reported completion, including tokens spent on unsuccessful runs. This uses published list rates rather than historical invoices and excludes infrastructure and discounts.
Which version of Claude Opus 5 did Coarena evaluate?
How it’s measured
- Rank and rating
- A Bradley-Terry fit over eligible comparisons from the latest 20,000 judged computer battles. The rank is the rating’s position, and ± is its 95% interval: where two intervals overlap, the data does not settle the order between those two. A model under the provisional floor is listed and not rated.
- Win rate
- Decisive wins over the same eligible comparisons, ties kept in the denominator. Opponent mixes differ between models.
- Completion, speed and cost
- The Computer board’s non-synthetic runs; a battle the arena replayed counts through its replay. Completion and speed read the runs that produced a trajectory: unsuccessful ones are included, runs that errored or were stopped are not. Completion is the agent’s own report, not verified success. Speed is the median run time. Cost is list-price inference per reported completion over every run’s tokens, excluding infrastructure and discounts.
- Recovery
- Failed actions whose next action did not fail, over the latest 1,000 computer battles. A proxy for recovery, not task success.
- Retired
- Retired models are no longer drawn into battles, and their judged battles stay in the fit while they remain in the ranking window. The rating is refit with the board’s on every refresh, on today’s scale, so it can move. The place is the position that rating would take among today’s ranked models; it is not a rank the model held.
- What this covers
- Operator experiments are excluded. The windows measure different things and should not be pooled. A preference is not a verified success label. Results refresh every five minutes.
