Opus 4.8 was significantly better than 4.7, I mean qualitatively better. It still got confused on long analyses, however, but Fable, man that thing never let go of its focus, whatever you were exploring, it stayed focused right there with you. I was in the middle of two substantial projects just three days in when they pulled it, and I those two projects are now on hold because, as good as Opus 4.8 is, I’m certain it won’t do as good a job and will require significantly more work from me to bring those to completion. Also, if anything needs to be slowed down, it’s the creation and use of agentic tools because that is where the real security risk is right now, poisoned tools. Check out exploits of Openclaw and vcode to name just two attack surfaces. Adversaries aren’t going after jailbreaking text prompts anymore, they are going after backdooring tools. All of that needs to be locked down, not the models themselves.
