Rumor: Anthropic to Launch Opus5
新智元 · wechat · 2026-07-12
The article suggests Anthropic is currently under pressure. On one hand, the free tier for Claude Fable5 ends on July 12, requiring users to purchase usage credits separately. On the other hand, developers briefly spotted a mysterious model named Claude Honeycomb EAP in Cursor’s model list, speculated to be an early preview of Opus5.
The report also mentions that Anthropic's pricing for public models is getting steeper: $10/million input tokens and $50/million output tokens, roughly double the cost of Opus4.8. The author links this shift to the competitive pressure from OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 and xAI’s Grok 4.5, suggesting that launching Opus5 is a necessary counter-move for Anthropic if the rumors are true.
