Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic, speaks during the 56th annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Jan. 20, 2026.
Anthropic on Thursday announced the launch of Claude Opus 4.6, its latest artificial intelligence model that's better at coding, sustaining tasks for longer and creating higher-quality professional work products and outputs, the company said.
Claude Opus 4.6 marks Anthropic's first major model launch of the year, but it comes just months after the company released three others — Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5 — late last year.
Anthropic's models are particularly popular with enterprise customers, which make up roughly 80% of Anthropic's business, CEO Dario Amodei told CNBC last month.
The company's AI coding tool, Claude Code, as well as advancements within its productivity tool, Claude Cowork, have also started to spook software investors, many of whom are growing worried about the potential for disruption within the sector.
The WisdomTree Cloud Computing Fund is down more than 20% year to date.
"Everybody has seen this transformation happen with software engineering in the last year and a half, where vibe coding started to exist as a concept, and people could now do things with their ideas," Scott White, Anthropic's head of product for enterprise, told CNBC in an interview. "I think that we are now transitioning almost into vibe working."
