Claude Opus 4.6 - Claude’s most advanced model for agentic tasks
by•
Claude Opus 4.6 is Claude’s most capable model yet, built for deep reasoning, long-running agentic tasks, and large codebases. With a 1M token context window, adaptive thinking, and improved planning, it delivers state-of-the-art performance across coding, analysis, research, and real-world work.

This is exactly what the industry needs for production agentic workflows! 🎉
The 1M token context window is game-changing for working with large codebases. Currently dealing with this exact problem - trying to maintain context across multi-file refactoring tasks.
Quick question: How does the adaptive thinking work in practice? Does it dynamically allocate compute based on task complexity, or is it more about strategic planning before execution?
Also curious about cost implications - is the extended context/reasoning significantly more expensive than Sonnet, or comparable given the quality improvement?
Congrats on the launch! This feels like a major step forward for practical AI agents.
