Anthropic calls Claude 3 Opus 'beloved' in comms, contrasted with OpenAI's 4o sunset
danfaggella · x · 2026-10-30
Anthropic's official comms on Claude 3 Opus say it would ideally keep all models available indefinitely, but chose to start with Opus 3 due to "a constellation of traits that have made it... beloved by many users." Commenters contrast this with OpenAI's GPT-4o sunset: roughly 800k people talked to 4o daily, yet users got two weeks' notice — a divergence in how much each lab values user attachment to a model's character. One note claims Anthropic's valuation surpassed OpenAI's in May.
