Claude Opus 4.8
Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's June 2026 flagship model, succeeding Opus 4.7. It posts a headline score of 81 on the hardest agentic coding and reasoning suites, holds long-horizon tool-use plans together across far more steps, and is notably more candid about its own uncertainty - refusing to fabricate rather than confidently pressing on. It is the default choice for serious agentic and software-engineering workloads.
Anthropic Mythos 1
Mythos 1 is the full release of Anthropic's specialised, security-focused system, graduating from the guarded Claude Mythos Preview. Built around Project Glasswing, it pairs frontier reasoning with defensive security tooling - vulnerability analysis, triage and incident response - deployed with heavy oversight and auditability. It runs alongside the general-purpose Claude family rather than replacing it.
