Bindu Reddy shared an unconfirmed rumor that Anthropic's new model Carbon may be released today.
Per the rumor:
- If it's not Fable (the rumored Opus 5.5 codename), it will at least beat Opus 5.5
- The killer feature is price — reportedly 50% cheaper than Opus, potentially making it the most practical everyday model
Treat as unverified speculation until official announcement.
