Claude Opus 5.5 cuts long coding-session costs with cheaper cache reads

Claude Opus 5.5 is designed for the way developers now use coding agents: longer sessions, larger contexts, and fewer interruptions. Anthropic says the model can cost about 40% less than Opus 5 on typical token-billed workloads, with the biggest savings coming from cached context and fewer wasted turns.

📰 KDE's proposed LLM policy discussion gets locked after a fiery community clash

With the Linux kernel accepting LLM submissions, distro developers are beginning to ask themselves if AI code has a place within their own project. We've seen distros take both sides, with Gentoo and Void choosing the anti-AI option while Debian allowing only high-quality LLM-generated content. Now, it's KDE's turn to work out what level of LLM-made content is allowed, and the community has some strong thoughts from both camps.
