That 'Claude 2026' AI Upgrade Offer Isn't Actually From Anthropic

A website called lorka.ai is advertising a paid plan called MAX that promises access to more than 30 AI models in one place. The page name-drops Claude Haiku 4.5 and Claude Opus 4.6, along with image tools like Nano Banana and GPT Image, and video tools like Veo, Kling, Sora and Seedance. It promises up to 500 AI images and 50 AI videos a month, plus faster processing and a commercial-use license.

Here's the part most people miss: the page itself states, in small print, that it is "not affiliated with any owners or companies that developed the LLM models provided on this website." In plain English, this is a middleman reselling access to other companies' AI. The names "Claude Opus 4.6" and "2026" are marketing labels on this page, not a confirmed official release. No announcement from Anthropic appears here.

So why should you care? Bundled AI subscriptions are a real and growing trend. Instead of paying Anthropic, OpenAI and Google separately, you pay one smaller company for a bit of everything. That can genuinely save money and reduce app-switching. But the trade-offs are real. Your typed prompts and uploaded files pass through an unknown company, not directly to the model maker. If that company shuts down, changes prices, or gets breached, you have little recourse. Ratings like "4.9/5" and "12,000 users joined today" are standard sales copy and come with no proof.

Bottom line: if you want Claude specifically, the safest route is Anthropic's own app or website. Bundles can be worth it, but treat unverified model version numbers as a yellow flag, read what the company does with your data, and never paste sensitive work or personal information into a service you have not checked out.
