… These requests will instead be rerouted to an older AI model, Claude Opus 4.8.

… During a recent reporting trip to China, WIRED spoke to academics and engineers at multiple tech companies who said that they preferred using Claude over Chinese models to generate code, and are eager to try out each new model that Anthropic releases. …
… Anthropic has already taken steps to limit competitors from using Claude to build closed- and open-source AI models, but critics say that quietly degrading the model’s performance for certain users went a step too far. …
… And then there's the ick factor that Anthropic will almost certainly benefit financially from positioning its latest model as mysterious, uniquely powerful, and exclusive. …
