Recent updates to LLMs:

• GPT-5.5 Instant has improved response style and quality, but no longer supports canvas (GPT-5.5 Thinking won't support canvas anymore either)
• Claude Opus 4.8 is here - improvements across benchmarks, and now a more effective collaborator, especially in its honesty
• Dynamic workflows now available in Claude Code - it's a new feature available in research preview so Claude can run bigger tasks by planning the work and running hundreds of parallel subagents in one session
• Claude.ai and Claude Cowork now have an effort controller. Higher effort = more, deeper thinking. Lower effort = faster answers.
• Perplexity Computer is now available inside Microsoft Office apps
