Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.6 with 1 million token context and agent teams — at the exact same price.
What this means for you
You can now send 1 million tokens (~750,000 words or ~2,500 pages) in a single API call and run multi-agent orchestration natively — without paying more than you did yesterday.
Bottom line impact
If you process long documents or run agent workflows with Opus, your per-task cost may drop because you need fewer API calls. API price unchanged at $5/$25 per 1M tokens.
Should you care?
✓ Yes
Yes if you use Anthropic's API for any long-document work or agent pipelines. Same cost, dramatically more capability.
Review any chunking logic or multi-call workarounds in your codebase. You may be able to simplify or remove them.
Potential reduction from fewer API calls in long-document workflows
1M token context eliminates chunking overhead. Native agent teams reduce orchestration complexity.
No policy or data handling changes.
