There are also several new features available, as Anthropic explains:<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Opus 4.8 launches alongside several new features. Users on claude.ai now have control over the amount of effort Claude puts into a task. Claude Code has a new \u201cdynamic workflows\u201d feature that allows it to tackle very large-scale problems. And fast mode for Opus 4.8\u2014where the model can work at 2.5\u00d7 the speed\u2014is now three times cheaper than it was for previous models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">In a comparison with Opus 4.7, there are some clear areas of improvement in agentic coding, computer use, and reasoning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Anthropic specifically says that Opus 4.8 is meant to be a \u201cmodest but tangible improvement\u201d on 4.7 and, as such, will be pricing it the same \u2013 $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Agents were also a huge focus of Google I\/O last week, with the upcoming Gemini 3.5 Pro model expected to deliver further improvements there. Anthropic didn\u2019t compare Opus 4.8 to Gemini 3.5 Flash as they\u2019re a separate class of model, but there were some comparisons made in Anthropic\u2019s Opus 4.8 system card.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"anp-pro-aside\" aria-label=\"context\">\n<p class=\"anp-pro-kicker\">Why it matters<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">News like this often changes audience expectations and competitors\u2019 plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">When one player makes a move, others usually react \u2014 it is worth reading the event in context.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"anp-pro-aside\" aria-label=\"outlook\">\n<p class=\"anp-pro-kicker\">What to look out for next<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The full picture will become clear in time, but the headline already shows the dynamics of the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Further statements and user reactions will add to the story.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The topic Claude Opus 4.8 launches today with agentic improvements, new features is currently the subject &hellip; <a title=\"Claude Opus 4.8 launches today with agentic improvements, new features\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/innovatenews.site\/index.php\/2026\/05\/29\/claude-opus-4-8-launches-today-with-agentic-improvements-new-features\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Claude Opus 4.8 launches today with agentic improvements, new features<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":13576,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[291,563,297,2179,2155],"class_list":["post-13575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovate","tag-agentic","tag-anthropic","tag-claude","tag-improvements","tag-opus"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
