🚨 Anthropic just dropped Opus 4.6 and I’m already a yes.
I had early access and found myself wanting to wake up early to code. I am a night owl. That should tell you something.
The reason it stood out (other than what felt like a speed up) is that Opus 4.6 thinks like a coding partner. It felt stronger in software architecture and planning. It was catching its own mistakes more frequently and ran longer without losing its memory or compacting. This is the first Opus model with 1M token context. We needed it. It is also the reason I upgraded from the $100/mo Max plan to the $200/mo plan.
On real-world knowledge work tasks (finance, legal, operations), it looks like it beats GPT-5.2. On agentic coding, it's the top score on Terminal-Bench 2.0.
Other things worth noting:
- Agent teams in Claude Code let you spin up multiple agents working in parallel
- Claude in Excel now handles multi-step changes in one pass
- Claude in PowerPoint reads your layouts and stays on-brand
Opus 4.6 is live now on claude.ai and the API. Go test it.
