Claude 4.6 gets 1M context at standard pricing

Anthropic made the 1M-token context window generally available for Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, removing long-context premium pricing and beta-header requirements on Claude Platform. The update also increases media limits to 600 images or PDF pages per request and brings 1M context to Claude Code Max, Team, and Enterprise with Opus 4.6.

// ANALYSIS

This is a practical cost-and-reliability upgrade that makes long-context agent workflows much easier to run in production.

–Removing the long-context surcharge on 4.6 models makes 1M-token usage financially predictable instead of a special-case expense.
–Full rate limits across the whole context window reduces the need for aggressive chunking and lossy summarization pipelines.
–No beta header requirement cuts integration overhead for teams already deploying Claude in API-driven systems.
–Expanded media limits improve document-heavy and multimodal workflows that previously hit request caps.
