    Claude by Anthropic

    November 24, 2025

    Claude Opus 4.5 debuts as the most powerful frontier model. Claude for Excel enters beta with pivot tables, charts, file uploads and a quick-launch shortcut. Context window compaction enables longer conversations by summarizing older messages.

    Claude Opus 4.5 launch

    We released our most powerful frontier model to date. Read our blog post for more information: Introducing Claude Opus 4.5.

    Claude for Excel beta release

    Claude for Excel is now available in beta to all Max, Team, and Enterprise users. We’ve added some additional capabilities, such as support for pivot tables, charts and file uploads, plus a shortcut to quickly open the full Claude app from Excel (ctrl+option+c). We've also made overall improvements to performance, speed, context management, and the general user experience. See Claude for Excel.

    Context window compaction

    We’ve changed our context window functionality to enable infinite-length conversations (with some exceptions) and significantly reduce length limit errors by summarizing earlier messages when a chat approaches its context limit. Read more here: Understanding Usage and Length Limits.
