According to The Information, Anthropic will release a new model this month, along with Gemini 4 Carbon and a new Terra model from OpenAI.
> "The unreleased model is especially good at discerning a person’s underlying intentions and goals even if they don’t give the model much information."
> "The Anthropic model is also better at thinking outside of the box rather than regurgitating common sense advice or solutions."
> "It’s not clear which model family Anthropic will fall into, such as Fable or Opus."
Thinking outside of the box is a huge limitation these days. If we get a model that can do it reliably, we'll be properly transitioning into the "Innovators" stage.
The line about "discerning underlying intentions" is a bit scary, though, given all the guardrails.

Grok Bot has a limited-time Pumpkin Bot Halloween avatar, and iPhone users can now activate their Bots via the Action Button.
I am slowly moving more and more of my routine tasks to Grok Bot. For EU users, it is one of the top solutions atm.
Besides Pumpkin, we need a Ghost Bot too!
