A new Claude Opus release by July 31 is unlikely because unverified leaks suggest testing at most, with no official word from Anthropic.

Points to NO
  • No official announcement by July 17, Fable 5 promotions extended, and available models remain Sonnet 5 and Opus 4.8, indicating internal delays.
    Evidence
Points to YES
  • Multiple unverified leaks and sightings on Vertex AI and Cursor point to an Opus 5 build in testing, raising near-term release probability.
