claude-opus-5-5 is a llm model on KeyoAPI, a prepaid AI API gateway: call it at POST /v1/chat/completions, billed at ~$1.76 / $8.82 per 1M in/out from the same balance that covers chat, vision, OCR and video models.
Overview
Indicative rates are about $1.76 / $8.82 per 1M in/out — confirm live on the full pricing list. Reserve it for escalations; keep Sonnet or cheaper chat IDs on the hot path. Same OpenAI-compatible gateway as other Keyo chat models.
Opus 5.5 pricing by input and output tokens
The public KeyoAPI catalog checked on 2026-10-13 lists default-group rates of $1.7647 per million input tokens and $8.8235 per million output tokens. These are KeyoAPI sell rates, not Anthropic official list prices. Confirm current rates and your billing-group multiplier in the pricing page.
A request with 10,000 input tokens and 2,000 output tokens costs about $0.035294 before retries, cached-token adjustments or extra modalities. A thousand requests with that identical mix cost about $35.294. For agent sessions, count tokens across every model turn and repeated context rather than only the final answer.
Fable 5.1 vs Opus 5.5
claude-fable-5-1 lists $7.3530 input and $36.7650 output per million tokens in the checked default group, about 4.17 times the Opus rate. The same example costs $0.147060 on Fable. Fable 5.1 vs Opus 5.5 covers both comparison word orders with one table and one evaluation checklist.
Test both models on the same coding or agent tasks with the same context, tools and execution budget. Compare passing tests, completed tasks, human corrections and total cost including retries. Use measured results to decide when a higher-cost candidate is worth routing to; this guide does not claim a universal performance ranking.
Call opus5.5 through the chat API

Use Build an AI agent with the KeyoAPI chat API for a bounded application loop and the Claude API pricing page for the broader Claude-class rate table. Your application executes tools and checks results; a chat response does not run the agent workflow by itself.
