Claude 4.6 Opus

Approved Data Classifications

Description

Claude Opus 4.6 is Anthropic’s most capable hybrid-reasoning and agentic model, designed for complex coding, long-running AI agents, and enterprise workflows, with a standard 200K token context window and an optional 1M-token extended context (beta), adaptive reasoning levels to balance cost and depth, stronger planning and debugging on large codebases, higher single-response outputs, and improved reliability on multi-step tasks; it sets top-tier performance across coding and computer-use benchmarks (including ~80% on SWE-bench Verified and ~70% on OSWorld), is available via the Claude API and major cloud platforms (Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, Microsoft Foundry), and is priced at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens for standard context, with premium pricing for extended context and up to 90% savings via prompt caching and 50% via batch processing.
