Opus 4.8 doesn’t feel like a big upgrade from Opus 4.7.

Meanwhile, GPT-5.4 to GPT-5.5 felt like an actual jump. Now I’m really curious what 5.6 looks like.

Is Anthropic saving Mythos for the IPO or what?

@Yuchenj_UW Mythos, I actually think 5.6 might be here a lot sooner, in fact in about 36 hours.
