Claude Opus and Sonnet get 1 million tokens of context

Anthropic is making the full 1 million tokens of context available for Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. No more beta header needed, no surcharge for long context, standard pricing across the entire window. Opus 4.6 scores 78.3 percent on MRCR v2 at 1 million tokens, the highest of any frontier model.

What that means in practice: you can load a complete codebase, thousands of pages of contracts, or the full trace of a long-running agent in one go. No more lossy summaries, no context-clearing. Media limits go from 100 to 600 images or PDF pages per request.

For Claude Code users with Max, Team or Enterprise: Opus 4.6 sessions automatically use the full 1M window. Fewer compactions, more of the conversation stays intact.

Google Maps now answers your questions

Google is coming out with Ask Maps, an AI layer on top of Google Maps. You ask a question in natural language, Maps searches 300 million locations and 500 million reviews, and gives a personalized answer. From that answer you can directly book or navigate. No more list of search results, but a conversation that understands what you mean. US and India first, the rest follows.
