This is one of their biggest updates.

Let's hear what they said about it.

They said, quote, Instead of one agent working through tasks sequentially, you can split the work across multiple agents, each owning its piece and coordinating directly with the others.

This is Anthropic saying this in a big press release.

Scott Weiss, who's Anthropic's head of product, basically said that this feature is like having a really talented team of humans working together by segmenting responsibilities.

So the different agents can actually coordinate in parallel, and then they can move much faster.

Agent teams are currently available as a research preview for API users and subscribers.

And so this new Opus 4.5 also is going to be introducing some really big context windows that have been expanded.

Now, this is something that I think a lot of people have used kind of as a leverage point for.

like classically or like famously, Anthropic had a bigger context window than OpenAI for many years when ShadGPT first came out.

And that's why a lot of people would use it.

And this is, I think, basically the first use case for myself with Anthropic.

Why I was originally using it was it was just a much bigger context window for things.

And then, of course, OpenAI kind of opened them up.

And then Google came out with a massive context window.

Because of this, Anthropic has come out swinging their new models now support up to a million tokens of context, which is what Google famously did with Gemini that got it a lot of usage.

And this is matching what Anthropic already offers with Sonnet 4 and 4.5.

So that really massive memory makes it much easier to work with kind of huge code bases, large documents, and it lets you do a lot more complex multi-step workflows just with a single kind of in one single conversation, which is really cool.

So Anthropic is also deepening Claude's integration with everyday productivity tools.

There was a post on Bloomberg that said basically the SaaS crash in the market that's been happening over the last couple of days is due to Anthropic releasing some of these deeper integrations with a bunch of SaaS tools.
