Anthropic Readies New Models, The Information Reports

Anthropic’s next release looks close. The details rest on one anonymous tester.

“official now: anthropic is preparing the release of their new model(s),” @kimmonismus posted Monday morning, crediting The Information. He linked the source in a follow-up post.

According to that account, Anthropic is preparing a model that, when asked to fix one bug, can identify the broader class of problems behind it. It then asks whether it should address those too.

@kimmonismus says the model family and release date remain unclear. Still, it “looks like it will be a significant jump compared to their released models.”

Which model?

In replies, he offered a guess: “It’s very likely fable 5.5. but rumors are that we will also see a new opus 5.5/5.6.” To another reader he wrote: “Probably. But rumors are a new opus on top.”

The report follows Anthropic’s announcement of its Public Benefit Fund, the lead story in this edition.
