Claude Sonnet 4.6 launched with a coding upgrade that changes who needs a developer.

Anthropic's mid-tier model got massive improvements in coding and agentic tasks.

Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.6 on February 17 with significant upgrades to coding, long-context reasoning, and agentic search. The model can now handle complex, multi-step programming tasks that previously required human developers.

Each model release lowers the bar for who can create software. The Trust Shortcut is about outsourcing capabilities, not just decisions.

The question is no longer whether AI can code. It is whether you still need someone who can.

SO WHAT?
Identify one technical task your team currently outsources and test whether AI can do it at 80% quality for 10% of the cost. The economics of build-vs-buy just changed again.
