Anthropic Delays Claude Opus 3.5 by 5 Months Amid USAISI and Government Review

Anthropic's release of the Claude Opus 3.5 model has been delayed by five months. The delay is attributed to Anthropic joining the USAISI, which requires them to provide access to their model to the organization before a public release. This move aligns with a similar approach taken by OpenAI. Additionally, there is speculation that the U.S. government is reviewing the model prior to its public availability. The delay has led to discussions about the timing of the release, with some suggesting it coincides with the return of European workers after the summer break.
