Anthropic: Claude Opus 4.8

Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's flagship Opus-family model, released 2026-05, built for long-horizon agentic work and memory-driven tasks where coherence over extended sessions matters. It is particularly strong on multi-step reasoning, complex coding, and end-to-end project orchestration across large codebases and asynchronous agent pipelines. It also handles knowledge work like drafting documents, building presentations, and analyzing data with consistent quality over long outputs.

Showcase

Three fixed prompts, identical for every chat model. Outputs are archived verbatim — copy the prompt to reproduce.

Task prompt · identical for all models
Build a single-file HTML page using three.js from a CDN: a low-poly planet with a tilted ring of ~200 orbiting particles, a soft key light plus rim light, slow auto-rotation, and drag-to-orbit controls. No build tools — one file only.

Every model will run this exact prompt; the output lands here verbatim, with tokens and per-run cost.
