Claude Max Plan: Opus by Default, New Features First

The Claude Max plan offers far more than increased usage allowances. By defaulting to Opus 4.6 and including a 1M context window at no extra cost, users eliminate the friction of constant model switching and seamlessly handle large codebases. Most significantly, MAX users gain early access to new features—sometimes weeks or even months before Pro users—making them priority adopters in Claude's development roadmap.
