Anthropic releases Opus 4.6 with new ‘agent teams’

This is actually interesting. Claude's reasoning is solid and the long context means you can hand off between models without losing state. "Teams" probably means coordinated sequences (analyzer → executor → validator). Cost and latency compound fast, but that's a tuning problem.

The real win? Claude's error rates in chains are lower than GPT's. That matters for anything where consistency beats speed. They're not overselling this as a magic wand, which is already a good sign.
