Our results for Opus 4.8 on DeepSWE are in! Overall, better performance while being cheaper than Opus 4.7

Why it matters here

Little direct relevance to creative data; relevant only for how Datacurve builds verifiers and QA for expert-written tasks.

How to reach

Speculative: via GitHub/DeepSWE discussions or through Serena Ge.

What we could not establish
  • Formal title (CTO?) not confirmed
  • X handle not found
  • Degree completion
