Anthropic: Claude Opus 4.6

Claude Opus 4.6 is a multimodal model from Anthropic that accepts text, images, and files, with a context window of one million tokens and a maximum output of 128,000 tokens. It supports tool use and reasoning, making it suitable for agentic workflows and multi-step tasks. Structured output support is unconfirmed based on available data. At $5.00 per million input tokens and $25.00 per million output tokens, this is a premium-tier model whose costs add up quickly at scale. Its blended benchmark score of 77.3 comes from only two benchmarks, so treat that figure as a limited signal rather than a comprehensive measure of quality. Teams running long-context document work or tool-heavy pipelines may find the large context window and reasoning support worthwhile, but budget-conscious users should compare output costs carefully against alternatives before committing.
