Claude Opus 5.5 tops Artificial Analysis' revised AI index with 58 points

Artificial Analysis released Intelligence Index v5 on October 27, placing 60% of the score on private test sets or held-out answers to make the leaderboard harder to game.

Claude Opus 5.5 tops the revised index with 58 points, and Artificial Analysis says buyers should treat v5 as a revised measurement system rather than a directly comparable continuation of earlier rankings.

The October 27th release also adds benchmarks for coding and terminal-based scientific work, changes the index's category weights, and introduces a second measure for tracking model capability over time. The company laid out the update in its announcement article and X thread.…
