Now on Azure: Introducing Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6Azure'daYeniDönemAnthropicClaudeOpus4.6Yayında

We are excited to announce that Claude Opus 4.6, Anthropic’s most advanced and intelligent model to date, is now officially available in Microsoft Foundry on Azure.

This update brings a significant leap in AI capabilities to our enterprise environment, offering a model specifically designed for high-stakes reasoning, complex coding, and autonomous agentic workflows.

What’s New with Claude Opus 4.6?

Opus 4.6 isn’t just a minor iteration; it is a powerhouse built for the next generation of “AI Agents.” Key highlights include:

  • 1 Million Token Context Window: Currently in beta, this allows the model to process massive amounts of information—think entire codebases, long legal documents, or years of financial records—in a single prompt.
  • State-of-the-Art Coding: It is currently ranked as the world’s best model for coding, excelling at long-horizon projects, debugging, and refactoring with a level of precision that mirrors a senior engineer.
  • “Adaptive Thinking” & Effort Controls: A new feature that allows the model to scale its “thinking time.” You can dial up the effort for complex research or dial it down for simpler tasks to optimize for speed and cost.
  • Advanced Computer Use: Enhanced vision and navigation capabilities allow it to use computers much like a human would—interacting with software, filling out forms, and moving data across multiple applications.

Why This Matters for Us

By accessing Claude Opus 4.6 through Microsoft Foundry, we get the best of both worlds: Anthropic’s frontier intelligence combined with Azure’s enterprise-grade security, compliance, and data privacy.

Potential Use Cases for Our Teams:

  • Engineering: Delegate complex implementation and full-lifecycle development tasks.
  • Finance & Legal: Analyze nuanced regulatory filings and generate compliance-sensitive reports with high traceability.
  • Operations: Build sophisticated AI agents that can manage multi-step business processes from start to finish.

How to Get Started

Claude Opus 4.6 is available now in the Azure AI Model Catalog. Teams looking to integrate these capabilities into their current projects should reach out to the [IT/AI Platform Team] for access and best practices on prompt caching to manage costs.

Let’s leverage these new tools to push the boundaries of what we can build!
