On February 5 (local time), Anthropic made waves in the tech industry by announcing the release of its enhanced intelligent model, Claude Opus 4.6. This latest iteration boasts a more cautious planning approach, enabling it to execute agent tasks over extended durations with remarkable reliability, especially in large-scale codebases. Moreover, it exhibits a self-correcting capability, enhancing its overall performance. According to Anthropic, Claude Opus 4.6 has the proficiency to sift through corporate data, regulatory filings, and market intelligence to craft comprehensive financial analysis reports—tasks that would conventionally demand days of manual labor. The announcement triggered a downturn in the stock prices of financial services firms, with FactSet experiencing a notable 10% drop at one juncture.
