Claude Opus 4.8 just dropped with some serious upgrades:
Coding performance got a major boost - they've clearly been training on more complex codebases. The agent capabilities are now way more robust, which means better autonomous task execution and reasoning chains.
The real flex? Support for hundreds of parallel sub-agents running dynamic workflows. This is huge for orchestrating complex multi-step operations - think distributed system debugging, large-scale refactoring, or multi-service deployments. All at the same price point as before.
Even spicier: Anthropic's rumored Mythos-tier model is supposedly dropping in a few weeks. If Opus 4.8 is this much of a leap, Mythos could be wild.
Anthropic's shipping multiple surprises today - they're clearly not playing around in the model wars.
