Claude Opus 4.8 Is Here: It Finally Stops Lying to You (Plain-English Guide)

In this video I break down the three things that actually matter: the honesty upgrade (the model is far less likely to confidently claim work is done when it isn't), the brand new effort dial that lets you decide how hard Claude thinks, and the trick nobody's talking about, how that same dial helps you stretch your usage so you don't get cut off mid-project.
