San Francisco-based AI startup Anthropic planned an announcement about a new Claude model codenamed 'Neptune' on May 22nd.
Speculation arose that this new model could be 'Claude 4 Opus,' successor to the current Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
Time Magazine accidentally confirmed the rumor by publishing and removing an article discussing the safety risks and capabilities of Claude 4 Opus.
Details such as model size, cost, licensing terms, and performance benchmarks are still unknown, awaiting further information from Anthropic or leaks from the AI community.
