Alongside Claude Opus 4.6, we’re updating some of our existing products—and introducing a new one—to put these capabilities where analysts spend the majority of their time. Cowork now delivers more polished outputs, such as financial models and presentations, on the first pass. Claude in Excel is now better at handling long-running tasks, with Claude Opus 4.6 staying focused and accurate as financial models become more complex. And we’re releasing Claude in PowerPoint as a research preview in beta for natively building and iterating on decks and presentations. (View Highlight)
Our internal Real-World Finance evaluation measures Claude’s performance on ~50 investment and financial analysis use cases spanning spreadsheets, slide decks, and word document generation and review. These are tasks commonly performed by analysts across investment banking, private equity, public investing, and corporate finance. Claude Opus 4.6 improves by over 23 percentage points on Claude Sonnet 4.5, our state-of-the-art model just a few months ago.
