Anthropic pushes Claude Opus 4.6 beyond coding with office-work upgrades

Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.6, positioning its flagship model for broader knowledge work alongside agentic coding. The company highlights stronger first-pass outputs for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations while keeping predecessor-level pricing.

Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.6 as a direct upgrade aimed at expanding Claude’s appeal beyond developer workflows.

  • The model is positioned as an improvement over the prior Opus release, with the same pricing as its predecessor.
  • Anthropic says Opus 4.6 handles complex, multi-step work with fewer follow-up edits, including deliverables like documents, spreadsheets, and slide decks.
  • The company calls out strengths in agentic coding, tool use, search, and financial analysis.
  • For non-technical teams, Anthropic points to work in PowerPoint- and Excel-style tasks and promotes Cowork, a more approachable product built around Claude Code.
  • In Claude Code, Anthropic is previewing “agent teams” (research preview) to split a project across multiple coordinated agents.
