A collegue and I have been doing a lot of testing with Opus 4.6 since yesterday. I spent $23 in a single prompt using /fast btw, insane! Anyway, the agent team functionality is cool to see, but I was underwhelmed by the quality.
Overall, I haven't noticed much improvement against Opus 4.5 at individual tasks. But when using agent teams, the quality is more like Sonnet 4.5's. It is not that smart.

Hard not to read that article and hear echoes of the ICE invasion of Minneapolis. What that Israeli army chief described in the West Bank is what the Trump admin wanted here: a completely stratified society, with summary execution for dissent in the lower strata. That’s the waters they were testing when they murdered Good and Pretti: “Do we have total impunity yet?” And that “yet” is still hanging in the air. They are still, to this day, disappearing people to secret prisons.
