Claude Opus 5 Drops as AI Race Heats Up | Business and Finance News

Anthropic just unleashed Claude Opus 5, the everyday AI workhorse designed for knowledge tasks and automation at half the price of their top-tier Fable 5. While Fable 5 handles complex, long-term work and Mythos 5—its most powerful model—remains restricted due to hacking risks, Opus 5 trades off some safety features like 30-day data retention. This release follows OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 and Google’s delayed Gemini 3.5 Pro, as the AI race intensifies globally, with China’s Moonshot AI reportedly closing in. Both Anthropic and OpenAI are racing toward IPOs—Anthropic likely this year, OpenAI possibly 2027—amid legal and competitive pressure, making this the most dynamic AI landscape yet.
