Claude: Speed up responses with fast mode

Read Original

Anthropic has launched a 'fast mode' for its Claude Opus 4.6 AI model, accessible via a command in Claude Code. This new mode offers significantly faster response times but comes at a cost six times higher than the standard model. A 50% discount is available until February 16th, reducing the premium. The article details the pricing tiers, including costs for extended context windows, and notes that the speed increase is estimated at 2.5x.
