Method note: the global score is the mean of the seven category averages, computed by us from LiveBench's published file; it may differ by a few decimals from the site's own display. Equal scores keep LiveBench's file order. Benchmarks measure benchmark tasks — during an AI diagnostic we re-run the comparison on your own workloads.
Running claude-opus-5-5-xhigh-effort with BrainOutput
BrainOutput routes each task to a model by confidentiality: sensitive work stays on a local or private model, and everything else goes to a cloud model only when your policy allows it.
Locally, on your hardware
Not possible
Not possible: the weights are not published. Sensitive work goes to an open-weight model running locally instead.
In a private cloud
Not possible
Not possible as private inference: only the vendor serves this model.
With your own key (BYOK)
Available
Plug in your own Anthropic API key: BrainOutput routes non-sensitive work to it when your policy allows; sensitive work never leaves your perimeter.
Frequently asked questions
Is claude-opus-5-5-xhigh-effort an open-weight model?
