Yeah, Opus 4.5 was definitely another large moment.

I think what was magical about Opus 4.5 is we also now not just had a model, but a vehicle, which is like a great product experience like Cloud Code.

One thing we say a lot on the team is you need frontier products in order to have frontier models and for people to feel the magic.

of frontier models.

And I think we felt the magic of cloud code for many months before that.

But the fact that the model essentially got to a level of intelligence where at a very broad level, users can experience

both frontier intelligence in new use cases, allow it to run things end-to-end in an agentic manner.

I think that was the inflection.

It was actually both.
