Everyone in a business needs to help to identify what the simplest biggest steps for positive environmental change are. ♻️ It’s not possible for one person to know the worst inefficiencies across all parts of a product’s life-cycle. #EarthDay22 🧵(2/2)

[Artificial Analysis @ArtificialAnlys]

Claude Opus 4.8 takes the lead on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 61.4, with Anthropic retaking the #1 spot on GDPval-AA and advancing in terminal use and scientific reasoning

To reach the leading position on the Intelligence Index, @Anthropic made large improvements in both real-world agentic work and frontier academic reasoning tasks.

Key takeaways:
➤ Claude Opus 4.8 is the new leader on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Opus 4.8 scores 61.4, up +4.1 points from Opus 4.7 and +1.2 points ahead of GPT-5.5 (xhigh), the previous Index leader

➤ The new release is slightly more efficient than its predecessor on agentic tasks, but token efficiency varied by task type. We saw Opus 4.8 use fewer turns and output tokens on GDPval-AA, but approximately the same number of output tokens for the overall Intelligence Index to achieve significantly higher performance.

➤ Anthropic retakes the lead on GDPval-AA, our primary evaluation for agentic performance on knowledge work tasks. Opus 4.8 scored an 1,890 Elo, reflecting an implied win rate of approximately 67% against GPT-5.5

➤ Claude is now among the top models for scientific reasoning. Previous releases have trailed peers on complex academic reasoning tasks, but with Opus 4.8, Claude sits slightly ahead of OpenAI and Google as the leader on Humanity’s Last Exam. It also scores higher than Gemini 3.1 Pro on CritPt, a frontier physics benchmark, but remains behind GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5

➤ Claude Opus 4.8 reaches #2 on AA-Omniscience, slightly ahead of Opus 4.7. Opus 4.8 scores 27.4 on the AA-Omniscience Index behind only Gemini 3.1 Pro (32.9). Accuracy ticked up slightly to 46.6% and hallucination rate held roughly flat at 35.9% - Anthropic continues to demonstrate substantially lower hallucination rates than peer models from Google and OpenAI

➤ Compared with Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8 also makes material gains on Terminal-Bench Hard (+6.8 points), τ²-Bench Telecom (+5.9 points), and IFBench (+3.6 points), with relatively flat scores across AA-LCR, GPQA, and SciCode.

Other key model details remain the same as Opus 4.7:
Context window of 1 million tokens (equivalent to Opus 4.7)
Pricing of $5/$25 per million tokens of input/output; cache pricing remains at a 25% premium for cache writes ($6.25 per million tokens) with 5-minute time to live, and 90% discount for cache hits ($0.5 per million tokens)
Effort remains the recommended way of configuring model performance and latency, with the same options as Opus 4.7 - we measured the model at its ‘max’ effort setting to test peak performance

A new European law threatens our right to livable communities. For mining corporations who want to extract our Earth, no area would be off limits. But we can still stop this. Call on EU politicians to #StopBloodyMining and put people and the planet first: https://t.co/UXLp6jpXe5

The ✨magic✨ of ‘2030’ and ‘2050’… those distant years that current politicians and business executives won’t need to worry themselves about?

[Paul Smith @pavsmith]

Brazil posts its highest temperature ever: in Winter. Tell me again why we have until 2050 to stop increasing the amount of pollution we're pumping into the planet?

Who says we have that long? Why such a round number?

Is it because it is over the horizon. We deal with it later?

4 Reasons @RishiSunak must #StopRosebank:
🌎As much emissions as 28 countries in the global south
❌Won't lower bills one bit
🛑Delays a just transition to renewable energy
💷Will make @Equinor_UK's CEO even richer, while the public picks up the cost

Is it more energy efficient to work in the office or at home? 💡Office = shared heating, lighting and food (in a canteen) + employees often use public transport. 🏠At home = no transport, but split energy across heating, lighting and cooking? ⚖️ #data #ESG
