Anthropic launched Opus 4.6, introducing 'agent teams' that enable multiple AI agents to work in parallel on segmented tasks rather than sequentially. The update expands the context window to 1 million tokens, matching Sonnet's capacity for handling larger codebases and documents. A new PowerPoint integration allows users to craft presentations directly within the application with Claude's assistance. The model aims to broaden appeal beyond software developers to knowledge workers across various industries including product managers and financial analysts.
