Claude Opus 4.6 is a proprietary large language model from Anthropic, part of the Claude Opus line aimed at complex coding, agentic workflows and long-running knowledge work. It accepts text and image input and produces text output, including code.
A creator video (Matthew Berman) cites the model on the METR time-horizon chart as able to work autonomously on tasks for about 12 hours. This is a third-party-reported figure and is not confirmed on the provided Anthropic pages.
It is accessed through Anthropic's Claude apps and the Claude API, and through cloud platforms that resell Claude. Anthropic's homepage now lists newer models (Claude Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2), so Opus 4.6 is an earlier-generation model. The provided pages do not give pricing, context-window or benchmark details for it, so those are not stated here.
