Anthropic and OpenAI have both introduced new, more affordable AI models in their latest releases. Anthropic unveiled Claude Opus 5.5, which the company described as 'the strongest-performing model we've tested to date.' Meanwhile, OpenAI introduced two new models, GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna. These updates come amid a broader industry trend toward making AI technology more accessible and cost-effective. The releases mark the first major updates from both companies since a call for a slowdown in the development and deployment of large AI models.
