What are the key features of Anthropic's Opus 4.6?
Anthropic has just released their latest top of the line model, Opus 4.6. And I think most importantly, this is a huge upgrade to their most popular product, which is Claude Code. Now, 15 minutes after they made this big announcement, OpenAI immediately dropped their own competitor to this to this AI model with their own update. OpenAI is doing a whole bunch of new features to try to get to the enterprise users that use Anthropic. There's been a ton of beef online over the last couple days from opening from Anthropic running a ad and allegedly they're going to have a Super Bowl ad that is coming after OpenAI and Sam Altman is replying on Twitter. There's so much drama that we're going to break down in this episode today.
and show some of the really cool use cases of the latest models. So there's a lot to get into.
Before we do that, I wanted to mention if you want to test out any of the latest models from Anthropic, from OpenAI, from Google, from Grok, from all of the top companies, including 11 Labs for Audio and tons of really cool image models, go check out AIbox.ai. where you access all the top AI models in one place for 20 bucks a month. And you get all of your files in one place. You don't have to have tons of different subscriptions. And you can also vibe build tools by just explaining what type of tool you want. And our AI builder will link together different models.
So there's a bunch of cool different things you can do. But I think a lot of people love the fact that you get access to all of the AI models in one place. I'll link it in the description. It is AIbox.ai. Okay, let's get into what has just been released. I think prior to this kind of Opus 4.6, Opus 4.5 came out in November of last year. And so I think right now Anthropic is obviously trying to get the reach of their model to kind of get out of a small segment of users, which is mostly developers and professional and enterprise. Now, not that a small segment is a bad thing, like they're not making a lot of money. They're making an insane amount of money because Most of their users are paying hundreds of dollars.
The API credits are crazy when you're talking about developers. Personally, I pay hundreds of dollars a month in, you know, clod credits for development and to build things. So it definitely is making a lot more money than just my $20 a month OpenAI ChatGPT subscription, but they're trying to get a broader reach. I think one of the biggest additions is what they are now calling, quote unquote, agent technology. So rather than just relying on a single agent to work through different tasks sequentially, agent teams allowed really large jobs to be broken into smaller pieces that multiple agents, according to Anthropic, can then tackle at the same time. 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.
