r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: When's Claude 5 dropping? Let's speculate
July 28, 2025 -

So we got Claude 4 (Opus & Sonnet) back in May, and it's been really good for me, especially for coding. But just like every person on this subreddit, I too am sleepwalking into the singularity, constantly refreshing anthropic news feed, praying for a new model or update.

Looking at Anthropic's release pattern: Claude 3 family launched March 2024, Claude 3.5 Sonnet dropped July 2024, Claude 3.7 Sonnet came Feb 2025, Claude 4 arrived May 2025 - what makes me hopeful is that the time between 3.7 and 4 was really quite short.

Now we are also in the early stages of recursive learning, where AI is already helping develop the next generation of AI https://www.anthropic.com/news/how-anthropic-teams-use-claude-code and based on recent results (math and coding competition) from openAI and their release of agent, this recursive learning cycle seems to be finally really picking up steam, and approaching that scary tipping point.

With the crazy competition right now - GPT-5 (in a few weeks), Gemini 2.5 Pro (with a decent CLI), and now Grok 4 - I'm wondering if Anthropic might accelerate their timeline. Dario predicted we could see 90% of coding automated within 6 months (from March), which suggests they're cooking something big.

My prediction: Claude 5 in Q1 2026, probably around Feb/March. But honestly, with how fast things are moving, it could be sooner, and I think an updated Claude 4 model is almost guaranteed sometime this fall.

What do you all think? Any patterns you've noticed or rumors you've heard? Also curious how you think it'll stack up against whatever Xai, OpenAI and Google release next. Claude 4's been dominating vibe-coding, but will they maintain that lead?

I swear Claude has an army of bots posting how much better it is than OpenAI.

I use both, all day every day for programming, switching back and forth. Sometimes one can help me get to the next step while the other can't. Sometimes it takes both.

But, in no way, IMHO, is Claude Sonnet 3.5 vastly better than OpenAI GPT 4o.

"Speechless", "The difference is insane", and so on... What the hell?

It's more like "yeah, it's ok", or "it's comparable".

Am I being trolled? Is everyone here a bot? Anyone else notice this or do you think I'm out to lunch?!?

October 7, 2025 - After a month of the hue and cry from all the die-hard Claudians for lobotomizing Sonnet 4, Anthropic has released Claude 4.5 Sonnet, and, according to all Anthropic employees on Twitter, it's the best model for coding yet. It improves on the shortcomings of Claude 4 (personality) while retaining its best qualities (tool calling accuracy).
