 ## Choosing a model
 
-If you're unsure which model to use, we recommend starting with **Claude Opus 4.6** for the most complex tasks. It is our latest generation model with exceptional performance in coding and reasoning.

 ## Migrating to Claude 4.6
 
-If you're currently using older Claude models, we recommend migrating to Claude Opus 4.6 to take advantage of improved intelligence and enhanced capabilities. For detailed migration instructions, see [Migrating to Claude 4.6](/docs/en/about-claude/models/migration-guide).
