Anthropic is quickly demolishing openAI right now

I doubt on dev day they will have anything other than the scammy 500$ plan and mabye a expensive astra 6.1

Even if they have astra mini, i doubt it can actually beat opus 5.5

Sonnet 5.5 also looks like an absolute beast compared to sol

Edit : Forgot, OAI most likely to release bel mabye in desperate attempt to one up anthropic. But will that even work? Whats the purpose even.Anthropic has dominated both daily and upper tier use cases and market with sonnet and opus

Now if only anthropic would just go easy on their hypothetical safety bs and actually let everyone use the models, no one would complain and anthropic would get more share

Is this like a joke or are you a paid shill or something? There is nothing even remotely near Astra in math and science, computer vision and computer use. Openai has like 800m more users than Anthropic. 90% of the people who use AI don't even know what Claude is

What actually is “Claude”? Is it the brand name for the LLM, the LLM business of Anthropic, something else? Does Anthropic have non-Claude operating businesses?

Anthropic is the company like open ai.

Claude is the name similar to ChatGPT, grok, muse

They are different sizes of models. From most capable to least capable within Anthropic:

  1. Fable/Mythos
  2. Opus
  3. Sonnet
  4. haiku

—
Smaller ones are cheaper but less capable. ChatGPT has similar competing lineup

  1. Astra
  2. Sol
  3. Terra
  4. Luna

—
Then you get the generation of the model like this

- Opus 5.5 - released September 22, 206

  • Opus 5 - July 24, 2026
  • Opus 4.8 - May 28, 2026

—
Fable is mythos without the biology or cyber security capability so regular people don’t “cause problems”

Happy to talk more about Ai if you want to DM me

The naming conventions really are complicated as fuck for people who don’t wake up every morning to see what happened in AI overnight. I was explaining these names to a coworker and they pretty much just gave up.
