haider1 · x · 2026-07-12
A post suggests Anthropic is currently struggling to compete with the post-Fable 5 landscape, with Opus 4.8 merely holding the flagship spot.
Citing rumors, the author notes that if Anthropic has already removed relevant models from subscriptions, Opus 5 might be released very soon. It could potentially be distilled from Mythos for lower-cost use cases. However, it will face fierce competition from the entire GPT-5.6 series.
