Opus 4.6 just dropped with 6 major features. Here's the 30-second summary 👇
1. Agent Teams: AI teams working in parallel on your project.
→ settings.json → claude_code_allow_agent_teams = true
2. Adaptive Thinking: choose thinking intensity (low, medium, high, max).
→ /model + left/right arrows in Claude Code
3. Interleaved Thinking: the model thinks between each tool call instead of just once at the start. → Automatically enabled
4. 1M context tokens: analyze entire codebases. First time on an Opus.
5. Persistent Memory: Claude leaves itself notes between sessions in .claude/project/memory/memory.md
6. Context Compaction: old messages are automatically summarized when conversation gets too long.
