[Rumor: Claude Opus 5 May Launch as Early as Tonight, Multiple Vendors Begin Preparations] According to monitoring by Beating, Anthropic may release Claude Opus 5 between tonight and early tomorrow morning. The related model appears to have started preparations for deployment on third-party vendor platforms. Previously, an unreleased model codenamed 'Honeycomb EAP' briefly appeared on Cursor. The page indicated it supports 'extra high' inference intensity, step-by-step control, and safe fallback, but it was quickly taken down. The community widely speculates that Honeycomb is Opus 5, though Anthropic has not confirmed this. The new model is expected to focus on improvements in programming, agents, tool usage, and multi-step reasoning, with capabilities potentially approaching Fable 5, while being faster and more cost-effective.
