Why it moved the index
The dated Google Cloud release record directly establishes generally available production access to Opus 5 with tool-use functions central to agent deployment. Magnitude is moderate because this is a distinct diffusion channel rather than a new model capability. Confidence is high because the primary documentation states release status, platform, functions, regions, and safeguards.
