🤖 Anthropic updates Claude with Opus 4.8

The new model scored 69.2% on SWE Pro. Anthropic says it performs better on long coding tasks, catches and fixes its own mistakes 4x more often, and follows instructions more reliably.

Claude Code also got a new feature called dynamic workflows. The agent can now handle tasks that take days by launching and coordinating hundreds of subagents, adjusting plans, and reviewing outputs. Anthropic says this system was used during Bun’s migration from Zig to Rust.

Claude.ai and Cowork now let users control reasoning effort. Higher effort gives deeper reasoning, lower effort gives faster replies.

Fast mode for Opus 4.8 is also 3x cheaper, while overall pricing stays the same.
