Opus 4.8 is still available to everyone, and the export ban applied specifically to their new Fable / Mythos models. But nice try though.

This sort of attention is exactly what they would to showcase the powerful capabilities of their latest models.

That is Anthropic's problem, and that's good for competition.

Serving Opus 4.8 isn't worth a trillion+ valuation.

The valuation of the AI labs is based on continual improvements of their models.

Open weight models are going to catch up to Opus 4.8 and at that point the model is a pure commodity.

While I do agree, no-one here made the initial claim on their valuation and especially suggesting that "Serving Opus 4.8" alone was worth a trillion+ valuation.

Good. We should all hope that happens.
