Thanks for the comment! Security is one of the strongest use cases for Opus 4.8, when a wrong answer means a real incident, the cost-per-correct-decision math changes completely.

That said, worth testing Claude Sonnet 4.5 first, it handles most security analysis tasks at ~20x lower cost. We track pricing and benchmarks across all Claude models at [https://comparedge.com/llm-calculator](https://comparedge.com/llm-calculator)

What kind of security workflows are you running through the models?
