Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
Available today at the same price.
Mira Murati (former OpenAI CTO) just told you the entire voice AI race has been measuring the wrong thing.
Thinking Machines' first model release is a voice model with one standout number: 400ms turn-taking latency. That's the gap between when you stop talking and the model starts. Linguists studying conversation across 10 languages found the universal human average is around 200ms. Japanese clocks in at 7ms, Danish at 400ms. Anything over 600ms gets perceived as "awkwardly long" regardless of culture.
Where every other shipping voice model sits:
GPT-realtime-1.5: 590ms
Gemini-3.1-flash-live: 570ms
Qwen 3.5 OMNI: 2,140ms
GPT-realtime-2.0 (thinking): 1,630ms
Gemini-3.1-flash-live (thinking): 940ms
Every competing model lives on the wrong side of the perceptual cliff. TML at 400ms is the first one inside the human range. Danish-speed conversation, in a model.
This is what the $2B seed at a $12B valuation was buying. The single number that determines whether a person on a phone call thinks they're talking to a human or a robot.
The benchmark table tells the rest of the story. TML is competitive but not best on turn-based reasoning. IFEval 89.7 vs GPT-realtime-2.0 at 95.2. Where it wins is everything streaming. FD-bench V3 response quality at 82.8. Bigbench Audio at 75.7. Give up 5 points of structured reasoning, get 200ms of perceived humanity.
For a research assistant, that trade is wrong. For a phone agent, that trade is the entire product. Call centers, sales SDRs, customer support, telehealth intake, IVR replacement, drive-through ordering: every voice AI deployment that has to feel human or it dies.
OpenAI and Google have been racing each other on intelligence. Mira built the only model in the human conversation range.
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Why is no one talking about this?
@nvidia is offering around 80 AI models via hosted APIs absolutely for free.
You get access to MiniMax M2.7, GLM 5.1, Kimi 2.5, DeepSeek 3.2, GPT-OSS-120B, Sarvam-M etc.
This plugs straight into OpenClaude, OpenCode, Zed IDE, Hermes agent and even with Cursor IDE.
Setup:
– Grab API key: https://t.co/Wfdclm0hY2
– base_url = "https://t.co/VOGC10LmGP"
– api_key = "$NVIDIA_API_KEY"
– select model (e.g. minimaxai/minimax-m2.7)
If you’re building or experimenting, this is basically free inference.
Lock in and start building today anon.
Thank me later.

This should be a case study for every video AI company on how to utterly kneecap an incredible product with Joan Crawford throat clawing levels of overblown "safety" restrictions.
This didn't need to happen, but I'm sure it will happen again with OpenAI products.
We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.
We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team
