On 15 October 2026, Google made Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 generally available in the Gemini Enterprise app. A week earlier, the same two models arrived in Gemini Enterprise's AI developer tools, where they are off by default and billed pay-as-you-go.
What's new
- Claude in the Gemini Enterprise app: people can work with Claude Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 alongside Gemini models, in the same app their company already manages.
- Claude in the developer tools: available since 8 October, switched off until an admin turns it on, and charged pay-as-you-go.
- More model choice ahead: Google says its new Gemini agent runs each job on the model that fits best, across Gemini and Claude models today.
Why it matters for your business
Until now, a team that wanted both Gemini and Claude usually needed two subscriptions, two sets of admin settings and two places where company data could end up. With both inside Gemini Enterprise, access is managed in one place, and people can still use the model that works best for the task in front of them, whether that's drafting, analysis or code.
The developer tools being off by default is a good sign for control: nothing changes for your team until an admin decides it should.
