Anthropic Launches Claude Opus 4.6 With 1 Mn-Token Context and Team-Based AI Agents
The company also introduced “Agent Teams,” allowing multiple AI agents to collaborate on complex workflows.
Anthropic has unveiled Claude Opus 4.6, the latest upgrade to its flagship large language model, positioning it as a major step forward for knowledge work and complex enterprise tasks. The new release builds on Opus 4.5 and introduces a significantly expanded context window along with new agent and productivity features.
"It plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, can operate more reliably in larger codebases, and has better code review and debugging skills to catch its own mistakes," Anthropic said in a blog post.
Opus 4.6 will support up to 1 million tokens of context in beta on the Claude Developer Platform, enabling the model to process massive prompts such as 1,500 pages of text, 30,000 lines of code or over an hour of video.
The move puts it in direct competition with models like Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro. Anthropic said the system can compress earlier conversations to maintain continuity during long interactions.
The company also introduced “Agent Teams,” allowing multiple AI agents to collaborate on complex workflows. Each agent can handle specific tasks independently while coordinating with others, helping reduce bottlenecks and speed up execution across tools and systems.
In addition, Anthropic announced Claude integration for Microsoft PowerPoint, launching in preview for Max, Team and Enterprise users. The model can generate slides from prompts, adapt to brand templates and restructure presentations directly inside the app.
