- Models affected: Opus 5.5

Lovable now uses Claude Opus 5.5, which completes app-building tasks in a third to half fewer steps than Opus 5 while maintaining equivalent quality. The model gathers context in a single pass, makes fewer and more complete edits, and reduces unnecessary verification loops.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://lovable.dev/blog/opus-5-5-now-in-lovable:

> Opus 5.5 is now available in Lovable, and it gets you the same results as Opus 5 while finishing in a third to half fewer steps. That means less waiting on long edits, and no compromise on what gets shipped.
