About Claude 6

Claude 6 is the next generation of Anthropic's Claude models. It follows the Claude 5 family, which Anthropic completed in autumn 2026: Claude Fable 5.1 on September 1, Claude Opus 5.5 on September 22, Claude Sonnet 5.5 on September 28 and Claude Haiku 5.5 on October 7

Like every Claude generation since Claude 3, Claude 6 comes as a family of Opus, Sonnet and Haiku models. Anthropic is building its largest compute yet for its next models: up to 5 GW of Amazon Trainium chips and several gigawatts of Google TPUs from 2027

A full generation after Claude 5

Anthropic starts a new Claude generation about once a year: Claude 3 came in March 2024, Claude 4 in May 2025 and Claude 5 in June 2026. Claude 6 is the next step up from the whole Claude 5 family

Long agent runs in code

Claude models lead at agentic coding: Claude Sonnet 5.5 scores 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0. Claude 6 goes further and works through a codebase for hours, changes dozens of files, runs the tests and fixes the ones that fail
