Anthropic has launched its new AI model, Claude Opus 4.6, which is already making waves in the tech and financial sectors. The updated model, available through Microsoft Foundry, boasts enhancements such as a one-million-token context window, improved coding capabilities, and the ability to autonomously construct complex systems like C compilers using agent teams. The launch comes at a time when the stock market is experiencing anxiety due to AI advancements, particularly as Opus 4.6 has identified over 500 zero-day vulnerabilities across major open-source libraries, prompting reactions from Wall Street. Meanwhile, the competitive landscape intensifies as Anthropic competes head-to-head with OpenAI, raising questions about the future of financial services and the software market as their respective models evolve.
