Pronóstico: Next Claude Opus released by 2026?

Platform comparison

Market context

Anthropic’s next Claude Opus model is expected to launch before the end of 2026, with the current Opus 4.8 released on 28 May 2026 and the shortest inter-release gap in the series—just 42 days since Opus 4.7—already recorded [2][3]. Historical cadence shows a flagship Opus update every six to eight weeks in 2026, and with no confirmed successor named as of late June, the most probable path is a point-bump refresh such as Opus 4.9 rather than a full generation jump [5]. The 95% crowd-implied probability aligns with this pattern, as Anthropic has consistently delivered public Opus variants within the year, even when higher-tier models like Fable 5 and Mythos 5 were suspended under US export controls in June [5].

Traders should monitor Anthropic’s official announcements for any mention of an Opus variant, particularly in the weeks following the suspension of Mythos-class models, as restoration efforts may accelerate a safeguarded general release alongside a minor Opus update [5]. Key dependencies include the resolution of the export-control directive that halted Fable 5 and Mythos 5 on 12 June, which could free up engineering bandwidth for an Opus refresh [5]. A recent roadmap analysis notes that movement is expected in “weeks, not months,” with no brand-new generation confirmed but a point-bump Opus refresh deemed the most likely next move [5].

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
