Will Anthropic release a first-party image generation model in 2026?

·Science and Technology

Resolves YES if Anthropic releases an image generation model built in-house either as a standalone model or as a native capability added to existing Claude models (e.g., image output from Sonnet/Opus). The model must be developed by Anthropic, not licensed or fine-tuned from a third party. Resolves NO if by Dec 31, 2026 Anthropic only offers image generation through third-party integrations or has not released any image generation capability at all. @/Soli/will-anthropic-natively-integrate-i
