🧠 And now, Anthropic

OpenAI isn’t the only AI lab rolling out new models. Anthropic has introduced Claude Opus 5.5, its new flagship, which outperformed GPT-6 Astra in the company’s coding tests while costing 40% less to run than its predecessor.

Anthropic has also added a new defense against model distillation, a practice Chinese AI companies have previously been accused of using to replicate the capabilities of Western models.
