Summary

  • Add --model opus-5-5 → token counting with claude-opus-5-5, pricing $4 base input / $5 cache write (5m) / $0.20 cache read.
  • Opus 5.5 cache read is 5% of base input (official: "On Claude Opus 5.5, a cache hit costs 5% of the standard input price ($0.20 USD per million tokens)."), so the comment and docs that said "every non-Fable model uses 10%" are rewritten to list 10% / 5% / 2.5%.
  • Default opus alias stays on opus-4-8 so existing baselines stay comparable.

Source: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing (Opus 5.5 released 2026-09-22; 1M context at standard pricing, no long-context tier, so Pricing needs no new fields).

Verification

  • go build ./..., go vet ./..., go test ./... pass
  • cc-session benchmark --help lists opus-5-5
  • Benchmark, baseline flags -n 20 -min-kb 100 -days 90 -overhead 40731, same 20 sessions, run 2026-09-23:
Metric opus (4.8) opus-5-5
Compression median 75.8% 75.7%
Cold cache: break-even / 10-turn / 100-turn turn 1 / 65% / 35% turn 1 / 64% / 35%
Warm cache: break-even / 10-turn / 100-turn turn 1.5 / 57% / 35% turn 2.5 / 49% / 33%

NewCtx differs by only 2 tokens per session (Opus 4.8 and 5.5 share the post-4.7 tokenizer). The warm-cache drop comes from the 5% cache-read ratio: staying in the original session re-reads its large cached context more cheaply, so the new-session advantage shrinks.

Opus 5.5 (claude-opus-5-5) prices cache reads at 5% of base input
($4 input / $5 cache write / $0.20 cache read), between Opus 4.x's 10%
and Fable's 2.5%. The default `opus` alias stays on opus-4-8 so existing
baselines remain comparable.
