I've seen some buzz on Twitter about Anthropic potentially releasing a new Claude model, possibly Claude 3.8, next week. Given that it's around the same time as Google's developer conference, I wonder if this could be true. With the improvements in Google's Gemini model, do you think the advantages of Claude might start to fade?

Honestly, it seems like we might just see Claude 3.8 sooner than we think! The hints they’ve dropped suggest they’re ready to push for some improvements. Could finally get a model that doesn’t lag behind!
I think we’ll see something soon, but don’t expect a massive leap. Just a slight upgrade over 3.7, maybe with a bigger context, like 1M tokens, which could be similar to what GPT-4.1 offers. But let's face it, the enterprise version will probably be the only one to get that kind of access!
I don't think they're too hurried to match release schedules. Anthropic has a strong focus on safety and ethics, which is great for the community but makes us eager folks wait a bit longer for the latest models. But come on, they definitely need to step it up, especially now with Google's advancements!
Totally agree! Everyone was so focused on OpenAI's R1 and R2 that they didn't see the Gemini model sneaking up. Claude needs to bring the heat after the show that Gemini 2.5 put on!
Since Code with Claude is being introduced next week, it could be the perfect moment for them to announce the new model if it's ready. It just makes sense with the timing!
Yeah, I heard they might even have a VS Code or JetBrains extension ready to go. It could be a game-changer... we’ll see!
Fingers crossed, it’s about time for Anthropic to show off what they’ve got! They seem to have a solid release rhythm now, coming out with updates about every four months. I wouldn't be surprised if we see something around June 20th. Just hang tight, time flies!
Lol, right? We might just get a fraction of that context for a hefty price. Let's hope it's not too crazy!
