Claude Opus 4.8
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.
On record
Full specification
Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

Answers
Claude Opus 4.8 — common questions
Claude Opus 4.8— is it open source?
No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
Claude Opus 4.8— how many parameters does it have?
No parameter count has been published for it, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Claude Opus 4.8— who created it?
It was published by Anthropic, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry.
Claude Opus 4.8— when was it released?
It was published in May 2026.
Claude Opus 4.8— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling/generation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
Claude Opus 4.8— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
