Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 is here with 3X cheaper fast mode and near-Mythos level alignment
Anthropic today released Claude Opus 4.8 , an upgrade to its flagship model that ships at the same price as its predecessor, alongside a dramatically cheaper "fast mode" tier and a new feature that lets the model spawn hundreds of parallel subagents for codebase-scale work. The model is available immediately across Anthropic's surfaces — claude.ai, Claude Code, the API, and Cowork — at unchanged pricing: $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens.

Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 4.8, an updated version of its flagship AI model, maintaining the same pricing structure as its predecessor. A significant enhancement is the introduction of a "fast mode" which is now three times cheaper, making high-throughput inference more accessible for production applications. This new mode operates at approximately 2.5 times the normal token generation speed.
In addition to the cost reduction for faster processing, Claude Opus 4.8 introduces the capability for the model to generate hundreds of parallel subagents, enabling it to handle large-scale codebase tasks. While benchmarks show modest improvements over the previous version, Opus 4.8 demonstrates superior performance against key competitors in various knowledge work and coding benchmarks.
The introduction of a significantly cheaper fast mode and enhanced capabilities for large-scale coding tasks makes advanced AI more practical and affordable for a wider range of businesses and developers.
