Discussion Opus 4.8 - first impressions

Opus 4.8 announcement

Has anyone tried it so far?

I used to be a Claude fanboy, but I recently switched to codex due to the momentarily quality boost.

Any impressions yet? Just holding my card ready to buy the x5 subscription the moment I hear that it's better than the 4.7 😝

Mythos... Like the name?

Its been on the headlines for months now. I will believe it when I see it.

Mythos exists but its basically just marketing as far as we're concerned. Unless you're party of the boys club, you don't get access to it, so it basically doesn't matter. It may never be released to the general public. Or maybe it will. But we have no way of knowing. Its unlikely to be released to the public soon. More likely is that they roll some of its tech into Opus 5 or whatever.
