On Thursday, Anthropic released the latest version of Opus \u2014 its most advanced model and a particularly important model for Claude Code. Opus 4.5 was only released last November<\/a> and, with 4.6, the company has sought to broaden its model\u2019s capabilities and appeal, allowing for a greater variety of uses and customers.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most notable addition to the newest version of Opus is the inclusion of what the company calls \u201cagent teams\u201d\u2014 teams of agents that can split larger tasks into segmented jobs.<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of one agent working through tasks sequentially, you can split the work across multiple agents\u2014each owning its piece and coordinating directly with the others,\u201d the company says. Scott White, Head of Product at Anthropic, compared the new feature to having talented team of humans working for you, noting that the segmenting of agent responsibilities allows them \u201cto coordinate in parallel [and work] faster.\u201d The agent teams are currently available in a research preview for API users and subscribers. <\/p>\n Opus 4.6 also comes with a longer context window \u2014 meaning that the program has a capacity to recall a greater amount of information per user session. The new model offers 1 million tokens of context, which is comparable to what the company\u2019s Sonnet (versions 4 and 4.5) currently offers<\/a>. Those context windows allow for work involving larger code bases and can also allow for the processing of larger documents, the company says.<\/p>\n The new version of Opus also integrates Claude directly into PowerPoint as an accessible side panel. This is a step up from PowerPoint\u2019s previous integration with the chatbot. Previously, a user could tell Claude to create a PowerPoint deck, but the file would then have to be transferred to PowerPoint to edit the presentation, White said. Now, the presentation can be crafted within PowerPoint, with direct help from Claude.<\/p>\n White told TechCrunch that Opus has evolved from a model that was highly capable in one particular domain\u2014that is, software development\u2014into a program that could be \u201creally useful for a broader set\u201d of knowledge workers. \u201cWe noticed a lot of people who are not professional software developers using Claude Code simply because it was a really amazing engine to do tasks,\u201d he said. White added that the kinds of people the company has seen using it include not just software engineers, but product managers, financial analysts, and people from a variety of other industries.<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoston, MA<\/span>
