Google Spark
By Google
Released: 2026-05-21
Google Spark is the fast, lightweight counterweight to Omni - a low-latency, high-volume model tier built to power consumer features at Google's scale. It is the model most users will touch without ever knowing its name, optimised for cost and speed rather than frontier capability.

Specifications
AI Evaluation
Not the frontier, and not trying to be. Spark nails the cheap-and-quick tier that actually ships into products - fast, cheap and good enough for the vast majority of tasks.
Pros
- Very fast and low-cost
- Great for high-volume tasks
- Wide availability
Cons
- Not for hardest reasoning
- Overshadowed by Omni

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.
