Claude Opus 4.8 FAQ
Short answers about the data and how to use this page.
How is the blended price calculated?
It uses 75% input price plus 25% output price as a consistent comparison basis. It is not an estimate of any specific company's bill.
Does TANDIU run the intelligence benchmark?
No. Metrics come from the labeled public third-party source. TANDIU collects the data, maps model versions and links back to the source.
Can this page determine a procurement decision?
No. Pricing and public metrics support shortlisting only. Contracts, region, compliance, features and task-level acceptance tests still need review.
