Introducing Claude Opus 4.8 (www.anthropic.com)

OpenAI still leads in agentic terminal coding, but by less.

Claude can plan the work and then run hundreds of parallel subagents in a single session (and with Opus 4.8, the agents can run for even longer)

That’s one way to turn profitable before the IPO, I guess. Goodbye tokens.

Pricing is an issue, yes - the open-weight models aren't on par with claude and codex yet. I have hopes that six months to a year can bring them to the level of current frontier models, and if so I think that's probably good enough for most users, including me. How Anthropic and OpenAI intend to make money at that point, I couldn't tell you, but I don't see an actual downside there :)
