Nauti's Take
Opus 5 on Bedrock is a real advantage for teams already on AWS: agent workloads run where the data, permissions and billing already live. The open question is whether its strength on long contexts and heavy tool use holds up under load and when tools fail.
Nauti would benchmark one existing workflow against the previous model — quality, latency, token cost — before making Opus 5 the default.
