Hey everyone, Elitza here, founder of own.page

A few days ago, own.page reached #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt.

As a solo founder competing against products backed by much larger teams, this wasn't something I expected - but it was something I was determined to achieve. There were moments during the launch when I thought it would be incredibly difficult.

But this incredible community showed up.

Claude Opus 4.8 just dropped who s tried it yet?

Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8 yesterday, and from the announcement it looks like a solid upgrade over 4.7. Here s what stood out to me:

• Better judgment on agentic tasks early testers say it catches its own mistakes, pushes back on bad plans, and flags uncertainties instead of bulldozing through

• ~4x less likely to let code flaws pass unremarked compared to Opus 4.7

• Dynamic Workflows in Claude Code can now orchestrate hundreds of parallel subagents for codebase-scale migrations

• Effort control you can now choose how hard the model thinks on each response (from fast/light to max effort)

• Fast mode is 3x cheaper than it was for previous models

• Same pricing as Opus 4.7: $5/M input, $25/M output

We keep hearing the same thing on repeat: enterprise AI token costs are exploding and the spend is largely focused on a single vendor (OpenAI, Anthropic etc.) One example: orgs that were spending $500K/year in December are spending $15M/year in May.

And CFOs are starting to ask the same question: do we cut back AI spend, or cut heads?
