Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Claude Opus 4.6 offer 1M-token context window at standard pricing
AI Impact Summary
Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Claude Opus 4.6 now support a 1,000,000-token context window, enabling processing of ultra-long documents and extended dialogue in a single call. This reduces the need to chunk inputs or manage multiple API calls for long-form tasks such as QA, summarization, or content generation. Because this is GA with standard pricing, teams can adopt without beta workarounds, but must design prompts and memory strategies to stay within the 1M-token budget and avoid edge-case truncation.
