#22Seems like from now on the updates will be a minor upgrade from previous models.

#23> Not only that, but we plan to release a new class of model with even higher intelligence than Opus. As part of Project Glasswing, a small number of organizations are currently using Claude Mythos Preview for cybersecurity work. Models of this capability level require stronger cyber safeguards before they can be generally released. We’re making swift progress on developing these safeguards and expect to be able to bring Mythos-class models to all our customers in the coming weeks.
Probably more interesting than the 4.8 release.

#24If this model is more honest, it must be honestly praising my efforts every first sentence.
You're absolutely right! And honestly? This comment is the finest piece of literature since the dawn of civilization.

#25> One of the most prominent improvements in Opus 4.8 is its honesty Anthropic talks about their own models as if they're discovering new species in the wild...
if models exhibit emergent traits, then this is true in a way

#26> One of the most prominent improvements in Opus 4.8 is its honesty. We train all our models to be honest—for instance, to avoid making claims that they can’t support. But a general problem with AI models is that they sometimes jump to conclusions, confidently claiming to have made progress in their work despite the evidence being thin. Early testers report that Opus 4.8 is more likely to flag uncertainties about its work and less likely to make unsupported claims.
Would be awesome if true
Re: Claude Opus 4.8
#27Crazy they bring up honest, when Claude models are literally known for straight up lying about things it has done and tries to act like it did what you asked.
Re: Claude Opus 4.8
#28There is an obvious shift in sentiment amongst users, at least here in the US.
I feel it myself, even as a proponent of AI tools, the bloviating and language that these companies use in these release articles are starting to wear thin on my patience.
Its possible we might just be witnessing a shift in fashion, where this type of sentimentality was more acceptable when it was novel and new, but now it just appears out of touch.

#29so it is worse than gpt 5.5 for coding?
Re: Claude Opus 4.8
#30when will we get anything for sonnet or haiku? the market for less-capable but cheaper models seems to be completely ignored nowadays
that market is served by Chinese models. No one ever cared about Sonnet/Haiku.
