  Opus 4.6! - 1 million token context window in beta! - Agent Teams on Claude Code! Spin up multiple agents that coordinate autonomously and work in parallel—best for tasks that can be split up and tackled independently. https://www.anthropic.com/... [video]

  Reliability: Of all apps generated in one-shot scenarios during testing, both Opus 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5 produced at least one broken app. Opus 4.6 produced none. It self-verifies its work, ending every sequence with verification steps.

• @nichochar Nicholas Charriere on x

  We've had the pleasure of working with Opus 4.6 before the release to give Anthropic some feedback. Overall, this is the best model we have seen to date. Key change in behavior: it is becoming more autonomous. More details on our evaluation below 👇

  I'm Sam and I have an incredible team of agents. Claude Opus 4.6 would not exist without them and they cooked.

  Claude Opus 4.6 is available today on https://claude.ai/, the Claude Developer Platform, and all major cloud platforms. And within Cowork, Opus 4.6 can put all these skills to work autonomously on your behalf. Read more: https://www.anthropic.com/...

• @alexalbert__ Alex Albert on x

  Opus 4.6 is here. The jump in autonomy is real. The biggest shift for me personally has been learning to let it run. Give it the context, step away, and come back to something pretty amazing. The way we work alongside models is starting to completely change.

• @claudeai Claude on x

  New on the API: we're giving developers better control over model effort and more flexibility for long-running agents. Adaptive thinking lets Claude calibrate its reasoning depth to each task, and context compaction keeps long-running tasks from hitting limits.

  Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade. Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes. It's also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta. [video]

• @claudeai Claude on x

  Opus 4.6 is state-of-the-art on several evaluations including agentic coding, multi-discipline reasoning, knowledge work, and agentic search. We're also shipping new features across Claude in Excel, Claude in PowerPoint, Claude Code, and our API to let Opus 4.6 do even more. [ima…

  I've been using Opus 4.6 for a bit — it is our best model yet. It is more agentic, more intelligent, runs for longer, and is more careful and exhaustive. For Claude Code users, you can also now more precisely tune how much the model thinks. Run /model and arrow left/right to

  Opus 4.6 is a bananas upgrade. The 0.1 increment undersells it. As much as Opus 4.5 changed the way I develop, my workflow now requires much less direction and detailed feedback. Claude just gets it. Very excited for you all to give it a whirl!
