Claude Opus 4.8

Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic’s latest model. It is highly autonomous and performs exceptionally well on long-horizon agentic work, knowledge work, and memory tasks. It builds on the strengths of previous Opus models and is stronger on professional work, including document drafting, data analysis, and presentations.
