Last 40 days · 7-day moving average
Developers have consumed 22.9B tokens through Opus 4.6, split between 7.8M input tokens (prompts, context, files) and 25.6M output tokens (generated code, explanations, edits).
Prompt caching has processed 798.1M cache creation tokens and 22.1B cache read tokens. Cache reads are significantly cheaper per token, reducing the effective cost for developers with repeated context.
The higher output-to-input ratio suggests the model generates more content than it receives, typical for code generation and completion tasks..
Based on data from 15 developers, the average estimated Opus 4.6 usage cost is $1.1k per developer (all-time). The median is $1.2k, reflecting the gap between occasional and heavy Opus 4.6 users.
Opus 4.6 accounts for 78% of total community spend across all 7 tracked models, ranking #1 by estimated cost. As a flagship model, it commands a higher per-token price, which means it can dominate cost share even when other models see more total requests.
These are estimated API-equivalent costs, not actual bills. Most developers use Opus 4.6 through subscription-based tools (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex CLI) with flat monthly pricing. The estimated cost is useful for comparing usage intensity across models and developers.

Common questions about Opus 4.6 usage, cost, and performance data.
Based on data from 15 developers on clawdboard, the average estimated Opus 4.6 usage cost is $1.1k per developer (all-time). The median is $1.2k. These are estimated API-equivalent costs calculated from token counts and published Anthropic pricing — most developers pay flat subscription fees, not per-token billing.
Opus 4.6 ranks #1 out of 7 tracked models by total estimated cost, accounting for 78% of all community spend on clawdboard. 15 developers have used Opus 4.6. Higher-tier models often dominate cost share even with fewer users due to higher per-token pricing.
Opus 4.6 is the most capable model in Anthropic's Claude family, favored for complex coding tasks that require deep reasoning and extended context. Developers use it through AI coding tools tracked by clawdboard — including Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex CLI. The token ratio for Opus 4.6 is 23% input / 77% output, indicating how developers interact with the model.
All data comes from developers who voluntarily track their AI coding usage through clawdboard. The CLI reads local log files from supported tools on each developer's machine and extracts aggregate token counts and model identifiers. No code, prompts, or conversation content is collected — only token counts and estimated costs.
Individual developers sync their usage every 2 hours by default. The aggregate statistics on this page are recalculated hourly. Opus 4.6 has been tracked on clawdboard since February 5, 2026.
