Announcing Claude Opus 4.6 on Vertex AI

At Google Cloud, we’re committed to providing customers with the leading selection of models to build and scale production-ready AI apps and agents on a platform optimized for performance, trust, and global scale. Today, we’re further expanding Vertex AI’s curated collection of models with the addition of Anthropic’s newest release: Claude Opus 4.6.

Claude Opus 4.6 is Anthropic’s most powerful model yet. In addition to excelling at complex coding tasks and creating sophisticated agents, Opus 4.6 delivers a step-change in enterprise workflows—generating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with professional polish and domain awareness. Top use cases include:

* Enterprise workflows: Reach production-ready documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with fewer rounds of edits. Ideal for finance, legal, and other precision-critical verticals where polish and domain accuracy matter.
* Financial analysis: Connect the dots across regulatory filings, market reports, and internal data to surface insights.
* Coding: Transform multi-day development projects into hours-long tasks, helping handle the full lifecycle from requirements gathering to implementation and maintenance with less oversight.
* Agentic tasks: Orchestrate complex multi-step workflows across dozens of tools with improved reliability and recovery from errors.
* Computer use: Unlock workflows that depend on complex visual interpretation and multi-step navigation.

Build agentic systems with a complete AI stack




Vertex AI eliminates the trade-off between accessing frontier models and utilizing a world-class AI development platform. Because building sophisticated agents requires more than just a model, Vertex AI provides a complete agentic stack designed to manage the complexities of production, governance, and global scale. 


Rapidly build intelligent agents: Leverage the Vertex AI Agent Builder stack—including the Agent Development Kit—to move multi-step agentic workflows from prototype to scaled production.


Scale agents with fully managed services: Use Agent Engine to deploy and scale agents in a serverless environment. With Memory Bank and Sessions, your Claude-powered agents maintain persistent, long-term context across multiple interactions for a more natural user experience.


Improve performance and reduce costs: Maintain consistent performance during peak demand by reserving dedicated capacity at a fixed cost with Provisioned Throughput. To further improve efficiency, leverage features like the global endpoint for Claude, prompt caching with flexible Time To Live (TTL), batch predictions, web search (preview), and a 1M token context window (preview) for Claude Opus 4.6.


Run on optimized infrastructure: Vertex AI’s infrastructure is purpose-built to handle the compute demands of frontier models to help lower latency and improve efficiency.


Govern and secure at scale: Integrated governance controls keep agents on task and their actions logged. Secure the full AI stack including models and agents with Google Cloud’s foundational security and data residency controls, protect against novel AI threats like prompt injection and tool poisoning with Model Armor, and get advanced AI Protection in Security Command Center to prioritize AI risks and detect threats.
