Today's AI landscape is defined by one clear trend: agents are moving from experimental prototypes to production-ready systems. Whether it's Perplexity's $200/month "Personal Computer" or NVIDIA's Cosmos world foundation models, the focus has shifted from "can we build agents?" to "how do we deploy them at scale?"
Anthropic removed the additional fees for long contexts in Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. Requests with more than 200,000 tokens no longer cost up to twice as much. This makes long-context applications significantly more affordable for enterprises.
