Anthropic released Claude Opus 5, claiming Fable 5-level capability at half the price with a per-request effort toggle, making cost-per-task rather than peak capability the competitive axis.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8 with a Dynamic Workflows feature that coordinates hundreds of parallel subagents, and closed a $65B Series H at a $965B valuation with $47B in annual run-rate revenue.
