Leading AI company Anthropic has officially launched its next-generation flagship AI model, Claude Opus4.6. This update was released just two months after the previous version, demonstrating the company's extremely fast iteration pace in the high-end model field. The new version focuses on "autonomy" and "productivity," aiming to provide developers and enterprise office scenarios with a more deeply supportive intelligent experience.

In terms of technical specifications, Claude Opus4.6 introduces a massive context window of up to 1 million tokens for the first time in the beta version. This means the model can "read" longer technical documents, process more complex code repositories, or analyze large financial datasets in one go. In practical operations, Opus4.6 shows more meticulous planning capabilities, able to focus on the main task for extended periods, significantly reducing the need for users to frequently input instructions to correct errors, achieving higher efficiency with "fewer instructions, more output."

The evolution of programming capabilities is the highlight of this update. The new model handles large-scale codebases more confidently, especially in code review and automated debugging, where reliability has significantly improved. Anthropic states that Opus4.6 enhances the endurance of "agent tasks," not only accurately identifying errors in programs but also proactively proposing and implementing correction plans, further freeing up programmers' hands.

For the office ecosystem, Claude Opus4.6 has taken an important step forward. In addition to deepening existing Excel integration, it also launched a research preview version of PowerPoint integration. In office presentations, the AI can directly assist users in running complex financial analyses, conducting industry research, and automatically generating corresponding spreadsheets and presentations, transforming AI from a "chatbot" into a genuine "digital employee."

Currently, Claude Opus4.6 is available on the official platform, API, and major cloud service platforms. In terms of pricing, Anthropic maintains the original rate: $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, aiming to maintain a price competitive advantage while performance has significantly improved.

Key Points:

  • 🚀 Expanded Vision: For the first time, a 1 million token context window is opened in Opus-level models, supporting the processing of massive documents and data sets at once.

  • 💻 Programming Expert Upgrade: Significantly improved code planning, debugging, and review capabilities, allowing longer execution of agent tasks and proactive correction of code errors.

  • 📊 Office All-Round Collaboration: Deep integration of Excel and PowerPoint functions, supporting automated financial analysis, industry research, and automatic creation of presentations.
