Anthropic: Claude Opus 4.6 (batch)
Anthropic: Claude Opus 4.6 (batch) is a batch-priced listing of Anthropic's Opus 4.6 model. It accepts text, image, and file inputs and offers a 1,000,000-token context window with up to 128,000 completion tokens per response. It supports tool use and reasoning. Structured output support is not specified in the available data, so teams that depend on strict schema adherence should verify it before committing. At $2.50 per million input tokens and $12.50 per million output tokens, it suits workloads that are heavy on long inputs, such as large document sets or extensive codebases, where the context window matters more than per-token cost. Its blended benchmark score of 74.7 rests on only two independent benchmarks, an AI index score of 62.3 and an EQ-Bench score of 70.3. That coverage is thin, so treat its standing as provisional and run your own evaluations against cheaper alternatives before shortlisting it.
