🚀 BREAKING: Claude Opus 4.6 Just Dropped — And It's a Game-Changer

Anthropic just released Claude Opus 4.6 today, and I'm already running it. Here's what you need to know:

What's New:

1M Token Context Window — First Opus model to handle this scale. That's 1,500 pages of text or 30,000 lines of code in a single session. A 5x jump from Opus 4.5.

Agent Teams — Multiple AI agents now work in parallel on different parts of your task, coordinating together instead of working sequentially. Think of it as having a skilled team rather than a single assistant.

Claude in PowerPoint — Direct integration (research preview). Create and edit slides without leaving the app.

Cybersecurity Breakthrough — In testing, Opus 4.6 found 500+ zero-day vulnerabilities in open-source code using standard tools. No special instructions needed.

Why This Matters for Business

Anthropic's Scott White describes this as the shift to "vibe working" — where you describe what you want and the AI handles the execution end-to-end. For knowledge workers, analysts, and developers, this means:

→ Financial analyses that took days, done in minutes→ Agentic coding sessions that run 20-30 minutes autonomously→ Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations closer to production-ready on first attempt

Rakuten already deployed it to autonomously manage tasks for a 50-person organization — closing 13 issues in a single day.

The AI race continues. No single model dominates everything anymore — it's about choosing the right tool for the job.

What's your first use case going to be?
