According to information published on the Claude Blog on October 22, 2026, Google Cloud customers can use the full Claude platform capabilities through their existing IAM credentials, billing, and committed use discounts, with new features and betas launching on the same day as the native Claude platform. This version supports capabilities including Claude Managed Agents (beta), code execution, computer use, Agent skills, MCP connector, and Prompt caching, and provides the Claude Console; Claude Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, and Haiku 5.5 are already available, with Claude Opus 5.5's Fast Mode delivering up to 2.5x faster output speed, at input and output prices of $8 and $40 per million tokens.
