Anthropic has launched its new AI model "Opus 5," asserting that it approaches the capabilities of its strongest model "Veeple 5" but at half the cost, targeting daily office tasks and programming work.

Opus 5 is less capable of exploiting internet vulnerabilities and less prone to manipulation

The company's product manager, Diane Bean, said the new model is more efficient compared to the Opus 4.8 release launched in May, reflecting the pace of development within the company.

Tests showed that Opus 5 is less capable of exploiting internet vulnerabilities and less prone to manipulation compared to other models, making it less in need of stringent protective measures compared to Veeple 5. The United States had temporarily suspended the availability of 'Veeple 5' after concerns about its potential exploitation for foreign intelligence purposes.

She clarified that the choice between the two models depends on the nature of usage, as Opus 5 is the most suitable in terms of value, while 'Veeple 5' is dedicated to extended projects requiring long work with minimal human intervention.
