#### 200K vs 1M Context: Performance, Cost & Use Cases
The 1M context window (beta, API only) is a significant capability jump — but it's not always the right choice.
**Retrieval accuracy at scale (MRCR v2 8-needle benchmark)**
| Model | 256K accuracy | 1M accuracy | Source |
|-------|--------------|-------------|--------|
| Opus 4.6 | 93% | 76% | Anthropic blog (Feb 2026) |
| Sonnet 4.5 | — | 18.5% | Anthropic blog |
| Sonnet 4.6 | Not yet published | Not yet published | — |
Note: Opus 4.6 retains strong accuracy at 1M (76%), while Sonnet 4.5 degrades sharply. Sonnet 4.6 MRCR scores have not yet been published by Anthropic.
**Cost per session (approximate)**
| Session type | ~Tokens in | ~Tokens out | Sonnet 4.6 | Opus 4.6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bug fix / PR review | 50K | 5K | ~$0.23 | ~$0.38 |
| Module refactoring | 150K | 20K | ~$0.75 | ~$1.25 |
| Full service analysis (1M beta) | 500K | 50K | ~$2.25 | ~$8.75 |
**When to use which**
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|----------|---------------|
| Bug fix, PR review, daily coding | Sonnet 4.6 @ 200K — fast and cheap |
| Cross-module refactoring, large codebase | Sonnet 4.6 @ 1M beta — volume without premium |
| Architecture analysis, Agent Teams, complex reasoning | Opus 4.6 @ 1M beta — accuracy matters |
**Key facts**
- Opus 4.6 max output: **128K tokens**; Sonnet 4.6 max output: **64K tokens**
- 1M context ≈ 30,000 lines of code / 750,000 words
- 1M context is **beta** (API only, requires `anthropic-beta: interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14` header)
- Opus 4.6 pricing doubles above 200K; no premium tier announced yet for Sonnet 4.6
