Description
Anthropic dropped Opus 4.8 yesterday — same price, better coding scores, and a four-fold reduction in silent code bugs.

Plus: Figure AI's robots sorted 250,000 packages in 200 hours with zero failures, and California's AI legislation just hit its crossover deadline with thirty bills in play and no federal law in sight.
