Anthropic releases a new artificial intelligence model specializing in financial research, causing the stock prices of financial service companies to drop.

The software stock market has not yet stabilized following the sharp decline triggered by the Anthropic legal services tool. The company released a new version of its most powerful artificial intelligence model on Thursday, primarily for conducting financial research. The company stated that this version, named Claude Opus 4.6, is capable of analyzing corporate data, regulatory filings, and market information to generate detailed financial analysis reports, a task that typically takes days to complete manually. In addition, Opus 4.6 will also enhance a range of other office functions, including creating spreadsheets and presentations, as well as software development. Following this announcement, shares of financial service companies fell, with FactSet Research Systems dropping by as much as 10%, and stock prices for S&P Global, Moody's, and Nasdaq seeing significant decreases.
