Anthropic has released a more powerful AI model Opus 4.1 ahead of schedule.

Jin10 data reported on August 6th that as OpenAI is about to release the long-awaited GPT-5, Anthropic will ahead of schedule release its most powerful AI model Opus 4.1 on Tuesday. The company stated that Opus 4.1 has stronger capabilities in programming, research, and data analysis, and performs better in handling complex multi-step problems, making it more competent for intelligent agent tasks. This update marks a shift in the company's strategy, focusing on gradual improvements in coding models while launching major version models. Anthropic's Chief Product Officer Mike Krieger stated: "In the past, we were too focused on releasing significant upgrade versions. Now we focus more on continuously improving the model in all aspects—whether it’s programming, reasoning, or autonomous task execution."
