Claude Opus 4.6

Anthropic

An earlier Claude Opus release from Anthropic, with a 1M-token context and the same list price as Opus 5.

Main uses: Existing integrations pinned to this version - complex agentic work and long-document analysis.

What sets it apart: At $5/$25 per 1M tokens it costs the same as Claude Opus 5 and more than Opus 5.5 ($4/$20) - staying on it saves nothing on price.
