I may be completely wrong over here, Opus 4.8 is the latest frontier, but I had a few sessions open with 4.6 , I thought 4.6 outputs were cleaner and more to the point , 4.8 tries to be more politically correct. For coding I generally have MCP of all the tools I use, hence don't find much difference. I can be completely wrong here as benchmarks say different and benchmarks are more trustworthy than what I observe. Anyone else felt the same way.

Anthropic Is Too Expensive, Microsoft's AI Chief Warns — US Firms Turn to China's DeepSeek

Claude now writes 80% of the code at Anthropic

Anthropic’s recent backend leak just exposed a massive shift in their product strategy. While the community has been patiently waiting for any crumbs on the restricted "Claude Mythos" model, a brand new string `claude-oceanus-v1-p` just leaked alongside its enterprise proxy pricing. The numbers are out, and they are grim for independent developers: The Price Barrier: Oceanus is priced at an insane $16/M input and $80/M output tokens—nearly 3x more expensive than Claude Opus. The Corporate Focus: Anthropic is completely bypassing the consumer market to gatekeep high-end reasoning layers for Fortune 500 enterprises. The Technical Link: The leaked source maps indicate that the unreleased Mythos framework was just a stepping stone to build this ultra-premium, locked-down corporate ecosystem. The Sudden Panic:Anthropic immediately paused their entire Red Team program today because the curtain was pulled back too early on their commercial pivot. They aren't holding back models because they are "too dangerous for society." They are holding them back until they can extract maximum enterprise margins. Are we officially entering an era where advanced AI reasoning is a luxury commodity reserved only for corporate balance sheets? How is any independent dev supposed to compete with an $80/M output token barrier?

Are they saying this because they genuinely care or they want to save the face because they have reached a ceiling and cannot achieve what they claimed AI (or LLM) could do? Btw read the comments section of that news article, it is fun
