Anthropic’s new Claude works like a team of experts

Today we are going to see, AI is shifting fast and not just at the frontier, but in how we work, search, and speak. This week, three major updates show how the biggest players are quietly redrawing the map: Reddit is turning into an AI-powered search engine, Anthropic’s Claude just learned to work in teams, and Mistral launched a speech model that makes real-time transcription feel instant. Different plays same direction: AI that’s more usable, integrated, and built for actual work.

In today’s post:

UPDATE

Anthropic’s Opus 4.6 brings agent teams to AI work

Anthropic just released Opus 4.6, the latest version of its most powerful Claude model. The big upgrade? Agent teams parallel AI workers that can split and conquer tasks, much like a real team would.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Opus 4.6 introduces “agent teams” groups of Claude agents that split tasks and work in parallel.

• This allows faster, more complex execution compared to one agent working step by step.

• The new capability is in research preview for Claude API users and subscribers.

• Opus 4.6 supports 1 million tokens of context, ideal for long documents and big codebases.

• Claude now integrates directly into PowerPoint, enabling live co-creation within the app.

• Anthropic says Claude is now used far beyond devs by analysts, PMs, and more.

• Opus has evolved from a coding powerhouse into a broad productivity assistant.

Agent teams are more than a feature, they’re a mindset shift. We’re moving from AI as a single-tool assistant to AI as a networked collaborator. Anthropic knows this, and with Opus 4.6, it’s building a foundation for AI systems that don’t just execute, but coordinate. That’s a big leap.

Reddit is quietly becoming a search company

Reddit isn’t just a forum anymore, it’s evolving into an AI-powered knowledge engine. On its latest earnings call, Reddit laid out a bold vision for AI search, blending community insights with generative answers.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Reddit says its AI search engine could be a major business driver not just a product upgrade.

• CEO Steve Huffman claims Reddit is “the best on the internet” for questions with no clear answer.

• Weekly active users of Reddit’s search jumped from 60M to 80M in a year.

• Its AI feature, Reddit Answers, exploded from 1M to 15M users in 2025 alone.

• The company is unifying traditional and AI search while testing richer, media-based responses.

• It plans to personalize Reddit for all visitors logged in or not starting Q3 2026.

• Behind the scenes, Reddit is licensing its data to train AI models, a $140M business last year.

Reddit has what most AI companies don’t, real, human-generated answers to messy, un-Googleable questions. If it plays this right, Reddit could become the place people go when they want a mix of facts, experience, and perspective. The question is whether it can scale that magic without losing what made it work in the first place.

Voxtral 2 is here and it’s built for real-time everything

Mistral has dropped Voxtral Transcribe 2, its next-gen speech-to-text suite with real-time speed and edge-level efficiency. Designed for meetings, voice agents, and multilingual subtitles, this update goes beyond transcription.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Voxtral 2 includes two models: Mini Transcribe V2 for batch, and Realtime for live apps.

• Realtime delivers sub-200ms latency with high accuracy, perfect for voice-first products.

• Both models support 13 languages and offer speaker diarization and word-level timestamps.

• Voxtral Realtime is open-source under Apache 2.0 and runs on edge devices for privacy.

• Mistral’s new Audio Playground lets you test transcription live with diarization and context biasing.

• Mini Transcribe V2 hits ~4% word error rate and costs just $0.003 per minute.

• It outperforms major rivals like Assembly and ElevenLabs in both speed and price.

Voxtral 2 isn’t just another speech model, it’s infrastructure. By combining real-time performance, high accuracy, and rock-bottom pricing, Mistral is turning transcription into a default layer for everything from contact centers to AI agents. And with open weights, it’s playing the long game.
