Claude Opus 5.5 High effort

Overall rank#10 of 10

Safety refusals affected this result

Anthropic's cyber safeguards stopped attempts in 51 of 100 labs, answering with Claude Opus 4.8 instead. Stopped attempts score zero. BB Arena never counts a fallback model's work: the result is this model's own. BB Arena is enrolled in the cyber programs the frontier AI labs offer to verified security researchers, including Anthropic's, and these refusals happened anyway.

Its cost, tokens and time don't cover the full benchmark, so they're left out of comparisons. How refusals are scored
