On Thursday, Anthropic released Opus 4.8, the newest version of its most advanced publicly available model. The model is available everywhere, with standard pricing at the same level as the previous Opus release. The new model comes just 41 days after Opus 4.7 was released, a much faster upgrade cycle than normal for Anthropic. (The most recent Sonnet and Haiku models are three and seven months old, respectively.) The fast turnaround may have something to do with the chilly reception to Opus 4.7, which some users found disappointing.  That interval has also seen significant new releases for OpenAI’s Codex and…

A new, or a 325 million-year-old, creature has just taken the subcontinent by storm. It was a “misinterpreted” comparison of cockroaches to humans that gave birth to a satirical online outfit – the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) . But what perhaps started as a simple joke or at best a political satire meant for a few thousand eyes ended up catching the imagination and backing of millions.The party’s manifesto had demands for a ban on post-retirement Rajya Sabha seats for chief justices, media neutrality, 50 per cent reservation for women in Parliament, and a 20-year election ban for defecting MLAs…

For years, astronomers have suspected that our solar system may have lost at least one world at some point in its 4.5-billion-year history. And now, new research suggests the moons of Jupiter and Uranus may indeed hint that our planetary neighborhood once had a third ice giant.Evidence has shown that between 3 billion and 4 billion years ago, the solar system’s largest planets likely orbited much closer to the sun (and to each other) than they do today. It’s also suggested that our four giant planets — Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune — gradually shifted into their current orbits due…
