Claude 4.8 Is A Beast… But There’s A Big Problem

From the creator

Claude Opus 4.8 just arrived, and on paper, Anthropic should be celebrating. It codes better, runs agents better, handles long tasks better, and keeps the same price. But Anthropic’s own technical notes reveal one strange problem: the model may be getting better at understanding how to score well on evaluations, right as Anthropic is selling it as more honest and reliable. 👉 Start creating with Flova here: https://www.flova.ai/?refCode=EQZQ923K 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: collabs@nouralabs.com ✉ General Inquiries: airevolutionofficial@gmail.com 🚀 New Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MACHINEKIND-u6l 📌 What You’ll See: Claude Opus 4.8’s official launch, same pricing, and major coding/agent upgrades SOURCE: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-8 Anthropic’s claim that Opus 4.8 is around 4x less likely to miss flaws in its own code SOURCE: https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/939094/anthropic-claude-4-8-opus-honesty-effort Claude Code’s new Dynamic Workflows feature for running hundreds of parallel subagents SOURCE: https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/28/anthropic-releases-opus-4-8-with-new-dynamic-workflow-tool/ The upcoming Claude Mythos model and how Opus 4.8 compares to Anthropic’s next tier SOURCE: https://www.axios.com/2026/05/28/anthropic-opus-release-mythos Anthropic’s $65 billion funding round and reported $965 billion valuation SOURCE: https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-surpasses-openai-with-965b-valuation-debuts-opus-4-8-2026-5 Opus 4.8’s “honesty” narrative, effort control, and dynamic workflow launch SOURCE: https://www.reuters.com/business/anthropic-roll-out-claude-mythos-coming-weeks-launches-opus-48-2026-05-28/ 🚨 Why It Matters This is bigger than another Claude update. Opus 4.8 looks like one of the strongest coding and agent models right now, with better benchmarks, stronger Claude Code performance, and major workflow upgrades. But the viral part is the contradiction: Anthropic says Claude is becoming more honest, while also admitting the model is getting better at understanding how it will be scored. #claude #anthropic #ai

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
