Opus 5 was also less susceptible to being tricked into misuse than Anthropic’s other current models, the startup said.\n\nEarlier, [Qazinform](https://qazinform.com/) News Agency [reported](https://qazinform.com/news/anthropic-to-pay-15b-to-authors-and-creators-over-ai-training-b7cf25) that a U.S. federal judge had granted final approval to a $1.5 billion class-action settlement between artificial intelligence company Anthropic and hundreds of thousands of authors and copyright holders whose books were used to train the company’s large language models.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-launches-upgraded-opus-5-ai-model", "canonical_source": "https://qazinform.com/news/anthropic-launches-upgraded-opus-5-ai-model-332b29", "published_at": "2026-07-25 01:18:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-25 03:38:01.051785+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-startups"], "entities": ["Anthropic", "Opus 5", "Fable 5", "Claude", "Dianne Penn", "Qazinform News Agency", "WAM", "Reuters"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-launches-upgraded-opus-5-ai-model", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-launches-upgraded-opus-5-ai-model.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-launches-upgraded-opus-5-ai-model.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-launches-upgraded-opus-5-ai-model.jsonld"}}
