Opus 5 Rumors and Qwen 2.4T
kimmonismus · x · 2026-07-20
This post relays two pieces of info:
- Rumors suggest that Anthropic's Opus 5 might be significantly stronger than the current version, but also brings so-called 'product tier contradictions': if the new flagship is too strong, the old high-end tier needs adjustment.
- Meanwhile, Qwen is reportedly launching a 2.4T parameter open-weight model, further raising the bar for high-end open-source models.
The discussion is about capability upgrades and market pressure in high-end closed/open-source models.
