The San Francisco-based AI startup Anthropic had already informed the general public that it planned to make an announcement today, Thursday, May 22nd with a livestream scheduled for 9:30 am PT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many in the wider AI power user community, especially on X, began to theorize that the announcement would mark the launch of a new Claude model codenamed \u201cNeptune,\u201d based on earlier inspection of Anthropic documents and code online, which some took to be a new version of its powerful Claude large language model (LLM) family, potentially the long-awaited \u201cClaude Opus,\u201d a larger-parameter (denoting more internal settings and complexity) model successor to the current Claude 3.7 Sonnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, it appears that Time Magazine<\/em> has accidentally confirmed that rumor, publishing and quickly removing an article on its website, according to the observations of eagle-eyed AI programmers and news bloggers on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone also appears to have published a full scrape of the Time<\/em> article online on the news aggregator app Newsbreak<\/em>, though that too has now been taken offline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The focus of Time\u2019s<\/em> piece was on safety risks and mitigations, but it does reveal that the new Claude is smart enough to potentially help novices create new bioweapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are scant specifics about the model size, cost, licensing terms, and performance on commonly used third-party AI benchmarks. For those, we will just have to wait until more information is revealed by Anthropic \u2014 or leaked by members of the press and AI community. <\/p>\n
