•AI agents' capabilities in legal and corporate analysis tasks have significantly increased, with Anthropic's Opus 4.6 model achieving nearly 30% in single attempts and 45% with multiple trials.
•This significant improvement, partly due to new agentic features like 'agent swarms', indicates that progress in foundation models is not slowing down.
•Although lawyers are not immediately threatened with replacement, they should be less confident than before about the future impact of AI on their profession.
