Anthropic Says Claude Opus 4.8 Is More Honest and Better at Coding
Anthropic said the model is four times less likely to miss coding flaws and adds new tools for large-scale autonomous workflows.
- On Thursday, Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8, a new version of its flagship AI model designed to improve honesty, coding reliability, and performance in long-running autonomous workflows.
- Addressing the common problem where AI models "sometimes jump to conclusions," the company designed Claude Opus 4.8 to flag uncertainties and reduce unsupported claims during complex tasks.
- "Claude Opus 4.8 has noticeably better judgment," Shopify engineer Tom Pritchard told Anthropic, noting the model "asks the right questions, catches its own mistakes, and pushes back when a plan isn't sound."
- Users now have an "effort" setting to trade speed for deeper processing, while Fast mode runs 2.5 times faster and maintains pricing of $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens.
- Anthropic is also developing "Mythos-class" models via Project Glasswing, which has already identified "more than 10,000 high-or critical-severity vulnerabilities" and expects to bring these models to customers in the coming weeks.
