Capabilities
Listed exactly as the catalog flags them, including what this model does not support.
Vision
Natively multimodal: captioning, classification, visual Q&A, chart and screenshot understanding. Images are converted to tokens at the input rate.
Function Calling
Connect the model to external tools and APIs: it decides when to call which function and with what arguments, your code runs it. Force or forbid calls with tool_choice.
Reasoning
The model thinks before answering, which markedly improves multi-step planning and reasoning for coding, math and data analysis. Thinking tokens bill at the output rate.
Prompt Caching
Repeated prefixes (system prompts, long documents) hit the cache: reads cost far less than input, writes are priced by retention time.
Streaming
Tokens arrive over SSE as they are generated; the first frame is forwarded immediately with no buffering. Claude Code, Codex and similar tools depend on this.
Response SchemaNot supported
Constrain output to a JSON Schema you provide for predictable, type-safe results without parsing free text.
AudioNot supported
Audio input or speech output.
VideoNot supported
Video input understanding or video generation.
File InputNot supported
Upload PDFs and other documents directly; the model reads the whole document with native vision.
Web SearchNot supported
Vendor-hosted live web retrieval; the model decides when to search and cites sources.
RealtimeNot supported
Bidirectional low-latency voice / text sessions over WebSocket.
SessionNot supported
Server-side multi-turn context (e.g. previous_response_id in Responses) so you need not resend history.
MediaNot supported
Image / video / music generation endpoints.
Multipart FormNot supported
multipart/form-data file-upload requests.
Binary ResponseNot supported
Endpoints that return raw audio / image bytes.
Reliability & performance
WandAPI probes this model through the real supply chain on a schedule — measured, not self-reported.

Protocols & code samples
Change the base URL to WandAPI, keep everything else. Native protocols pass straight through; “adapted” ones are translated by the gateway.
Anthropic SDK or any Messages-protocol client: point base_url at https://api.wandapi.com and use a WandAPI key.

FAQ
How much does the Claude Opus 5.5 API cost?
Via WandAPI, Input (prompt) costs 3.2 Credits / M tokens, with 1 Credit = ¥1. That is 88% below the Anthropic list price.
Does Claude Opus 5.5 support function calling and structured outputs?
Function calling with tool_choice control is supported; structured outputs (JSON Schema) are not enabled — use a function-call parameter schema for type-safe results instead.
How do I use Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code?
Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.wandapi.com, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to your WandAPI key and ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-opus-5-5, then run claude. No config files to edit.
How is the 100.0% uptime measured?
WandAPI sends probe requests to this model through the real supply chain on a schedule and divides successful probes by total probes over the last 7 days. When one channel fails the gateway fails over to a backup, so the figure reflects what end users actually see.
