#AI model update

Anthropic has officially launched Claude Opus 4.8, the latest version of its AI model, bringing improvements in coding, reasoning, and task handling while keeping pricing unchanged from the previous version. According to Anthropic, the updated model is designed to be a more reliable AI collaborator and is less likely to make unsupported claims. Anthropic said early testing showed the model performs better in coding tasks and is less likely to miss problems in generated code. This is an upgraded core model designed to power more advanced reasoning across its consumer, developer and enterprise platforms. The model is now rolling out in preview through the Gemini API in AI Studio, Antigravity, Vertex AI, Gemini Enterprise, Gemini CLI and Android Studio. While Gemini Notebook remains a standalone research tool, Google is rolling out an update that gives every notebook a secure cloud computer, allowing it to write and execute code natively for more accurate data analysis. This update is currently available for Google AI Ultra users and Workspace business customers with AI Ultra and AI Expanded Access, and Google will extend it to all Pro users on the web in the coming weeks. With beta 3, eligible Apple Watch models can now access the updated Siri experience.
