By Meta Llama
Released: 2024-05-13
Meta Llama Llama Guard 2 8B, developed by Meta, features 8B parameters. This safeguard model has 8B parameters and is based on the Llama 3 family. Just like is predecessor, [LlamaGuard 1](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/LlamaGuard-7b), it can do both prompt and response classification. LlamaGuard 2 acts as a normal LLM would, generating text that indicates whether the given input/output is safe/unsafe. If deemed unsafe, it will also share the content categories violated. For best results, please use raw prompt input or the `/completions` endpoint, instead of the chat API. It has demonstrated strong performance compared to leading closed-source models in human evaluations. To read more about the model release, [click here](https://ai.meta.com/blog/meta-llama-3/).

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.
