Anthropic’s rapid Opus iteration cycle—four major releases from February through July 2026—has positioned the next Opus model (widely expected as version 6) to challenge or extend leadership on Humanity’s Last Exam, the graduate-level multidisciplinary benchmark currently topped by Claude Opus 5 at 64.7 %. Recent gains in tool-augmented reasoning, adaptive thinking modes, and agentic coding have directly lifted HLE scores for Opus variants, outpacing GPT-5.x and Gemini equivalents in independent leaderboards. Competitive pressure from OpenAI and Google DeepMind, combined with Anthropic’s emphasis on reliable frontier performance, keeps trader focus on whether the subsequent Opus drop will ship with further HLE-specific optimizations or new context-window and effort-control features that historically move the needle. No official timeline exists yet, but the compressed release cadence observed since Opus 4.6 suggests a near-term catalyst remains plausible.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the next Anthropic Claude Opus model added to the Humanity’s Last Exam results at https://agi.safe.ai/ has an HLE Accuracy of at least the specified percentage at 12:00 PM ET on the calendar date following the date on which it first appears on the site. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Any Anthropic Claude model newly added to the Humanity’s Last Exam results and labeled as "Opus" may qualify (e.g., claude-opus-5.1, claude-opus-5.5-thinking, claude-opus-6-preview, or similar). Claude models labeled only as Sonnet, Haiku, Fable, Mythos, or another non-Opus variant will not qualify.
The percentage displayed as "HLE Accuracy" for the model in its result card on the "AI Progress on Humanity’s Last Exam" chart at https://agi.safe.ai/ will be used to resolve this market. This market will resolve solely based on the displayed HLE Accuracy, regardless of the model’s Calibration Error, chart position, other configuration scores, or any underlying granular or unrounded data presented elsewhere.
If multiple qualifying models are added to the Humanity’s Last Exam results on the same calendar date (ET), the model with the highest HLE Accuracy will be used for resolution. Models added to the results on the calendar date following the initial qualifying model’s first appearance will not be considered. If a model is first added to the Humanity’s Last Exam results but is subsequently removed and not re-added, such that it is not displayed on the site at 12:00 PM ET on the calendar date following its first appearance, its appearance will not qualify as added to the Humanity’s Last Exam results.
A qualifying model must be newly added to the Humanity’s Last Exam results at https://agi.safe.ai/. Whether the model was previously released, publicly accessible, in beta, or otherwise available before appearing on the site is irrelevant for this market.
The resolution source for this market is the official Humanity’s Last Exam website found at https://agi.safe.ai/. If this resolution source is unavailable at 12:00 PM ET on the calendar date following the date on which the qualifying model first appears on the site, this market will resolve based on the first subsequent instance at which the model’s HLE Accuracy becomes available on the site.
