## Verdict

Claude Opus 4.6 batch is Anthropic's flagship reasoning model optimized for asynchronous workloads where you can wait 12-24 hours for results. It delivers the same capability as real-time Opus 4.6 at half the cost — $2.50 input versus $5.00. Reach for this when you're processing large document sets, running evals overnight, or generating training data where latency doesn't matter. The trade-off is pure: you sacrifice immediacy for budget. If your workflow can tolerate batch delays, this is the most cost-effective way to access Anthropic's strongest reasoning.
