About
Claude Opus 4.8 is a powerful AI model from Anthropic designed to deliver stronger coding, reasoning, agentic workflows, and advanced collaboration capabilities for developers, enterprises, and AI-powered productivity tasks. The model builds on Claude Opus 4.7 with improvements across coding benchmarks, practical knowledge work, alignment, and reliability while maintaining the same pricing structure. Claude Opus 4.8 introduces enhanced honesty and reasoning behavior, making it less likely to generate unsupported claims or overlook flaws during complex tasks such as software development and agent execution. The release also includes new features such as effort control settings, fast mode for lower-cost high-speed processing, and dynamic workflows in Claude Code that allow the system to coordinate hundreds of parallel subagents for large-scale tasks.

About
Inkling-Small is an efficient model that offers performance comparable to Inkling at a quarter of its size. It is a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 276 billion total parameters and 12 billion active parameters, trained on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems. It supports native reasoning across text, images, and audio, variable thinking effort, and context windows of up to one million tokens. Users adjust reasoning effort from minimal to extra high to balance performance and compute. Improved pre-training data, post-training with on-policy distillation from Inkling, and extended agentic coding reinforcement learning helped Inkling-Small surpass its larger counterpart on reasoning and coding benchmarks. It performs well in coding and tool-use harnesses, exceeds 80% on SWE-bench Verified, and combines strong reasoning with efficient output. Its encoder-free multimodal architecture processes audio as dMel spectrograms and images as 40-by-40-pixel patches alongside text tokens.
