| Description | ||
| Summary | Opus 4.6 is Anthropic's most capable model for coding and long-running professional workflows, designed for agents that operate across entire workflows rather than single prompts. It demonstrates strong performance on large codebases, complex refactoring, and multi-step debugging, with improved contextual understanding, deeper problem decomposition, and higher reliability on challenging engineering tasks compared to earlier generations. Beyond software development, Opus 4.6 excels at sustained knowledge work, producing near production-ready documents, technical plans, and analyses in a single pass while maintaining coherence across long outputs and extended sessions. Its strength in persistence, judgment, and structured execution makes it well suited for technical design, migration planning, and end-to-end project execution. | Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image served from Google Vertex AI. Billed per image at US$0.0336. Call it through /v1/chat/completions with stream set to false; the image is returned in the message content as a base64 data URI. Maximum output resolution is 1K. A request for a larger size returns a 1K image with the same aspect ratio at the same price. When a size is reduced, the response carries an X-Image-Resolution-Capped header with the requested and delivered size. |
