Anthropic

Claude Haiku 5.5 is Anthropic's small, fast model for high-volume, cost-sensitive work such as summarization, subagents, and browser use. It succeeds Claude Haiku 4.5 with stronger coding, computer use, and knowledge work, and accepts text and image input with a 1M-token context window. It is the first Haiku model with adjustable effort. Thinking is adaptive and on by default, with effort as the main lever for trading off depth, latency, and cost; it can be turned off at low, medium, and high effort.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's Sonnet-class model for well-scoped everyday work, succeeding Claude Sonnet 5 as a direct upgrade. It is especially strong at building features, fixing bugs, and producing polished documents, slides, and spreadsheets, and it writes and communicates more clearly than its predecessor. Thinking is always on, so effort is the main lever for trading off depth, latency, and cost, and lower effort settings keep it responsive for everyday agentic loops.

Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's flagship model for demanding reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agentic work, succeeding Claude Opus 5. It is particularly strong at multi-step changes in large codebases, code review and bug finding, financial and scientific analysis, and reading dense charts, diagrams, and screenshots, and it is more careful than its predecessor about only stating figures and citing sources it can back up. The model completes comparable tasks in fewer steps and with fewer tokens than Opus 5, and reports on its work in plainer language, with clear updates on what it did, what it found, and what it needs from the user. Thinking is always adaptive, so effort is the main lever for trading off depth, latency, and cost, and lower effort settings remain effective for latency-sensitive workloads.

Claude Fable 5.1 improves on Claude Fable 5 across the board, with the biggest gains in agentic coding, long-running agentic workflows, and knowledge work: long code refactors, front-end and visual code generation, and finance and analysis tasks in particular. It also tends to be more concise than Fable 5 in its plans and summaries. We recommend testing it as a direct upgrade wherever you use Fable 5 today, and alongside Opus 5 on reasoning-heavy tasks.

Claude Opus 5 is Anthropic’s flagship model for demanding reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agentic work. It is particularly strong at end-to-end software tasks, code review and bug finding, visual analysis of charts and documents, complex office deliverables, and coordinating parallel subagents. The model maintains strong instruction following and tool use across extended tasks, while remaining effective at lower effort settings for workloads that prioritize latency and token efficiency.

Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's most capable Sonnet-class model, with frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work. It supports adaptive thinking with selectable reasoning effort levels (low, medium, high, max, and x-high), a 1M-token context window, and text, image, and file inputs. Sonnet 5 uses an updated tokenizer and includes real-time cyber safeguards that block certain high-risk dual-use activities.

Claude Fable 5 is a Mythos-class model from Anthropic, built for autonomous knowledge work and coding. It supports text, image, and file inputs with text output, with reasoning support and a 1M-token context window. It is suited for long-running, complex, and asynchronous tasks that previously required frequent human check-ins. It is particularly strong at end-to-end work that would otherwise take a person hours, days, or weeks - taking on problems that are long-running, ambiguous, or highly multi-step. It executes well-scoped tasks with few mistakes, automatically self-correcting through verification loops, and ships with robust safeguards.

Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's most capable generally available model in the Opus family. It supports text, image, and file inputs with text output, with reasoning support and a 1M-token context window. It is suited for highly autonomous agents, long-horizon agentic work, knowledge work, and memory-driven tasks where coherence over extended sessions matters. It is particularly strong on multi-step reasoning, complex coding, and end-to-end project orchestration - large codebases, multi-stage debugging, and long-running asynchronous agent pipelines. Beyond coding, it handles knowledge work such as drafting documents, building presentations, and analyzing data, maintaining quality across very long outputs.

Opus 4.7 is the next generation of Anthropic's Opus family, built for long-running, asynchronous agents. Building on the coding and agentic strengths of Opus 4.6, it delivers stronger performance on complex, multi-step tasks and more reliable agentic execution across extended workflows. It is especially effective for asynchronous agent pipelines where tasks unfold over time - large codebases, multi-stage debugging, and end-to-end project orchestration. Beyond coding, Opus 4.7 brings improved knowledge work capabilities - from drafting documents and building presentations to analyzing data. It maintains coherence across very long outputs and extended sessions, making it a strong default for tasks that require persistence, judgment, and follow-through.

Sonnet 4.6 is Anthropic's most capable Sonnet-class model yet, with frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work. It excels at iterative development, complex codebase navigation, end-to-end project management with memory, polished document creation, and confident computer use for web QA and workflow automation.

Opus 4.6 is Anthropic’s strongest model for coding and long-running professional tasks. It is built for agents that operate across entire workflows rather than single prompts, making it especially effective for large codebases, complex refactors, and multi-step debugging that unfolds over time. The model shows deeper contextual understanding, stronger problem decomposition, and greater reliability on hard engineering tasks than prior generations. Beyond coding, Opus 4.6 excels at sustained knowledge work. It produces near-production-ready documents, plans, and analyses in a single pass, and maintains coherence across very long outputs and extended sessions. This makes it a strong default for tasks that require persistence, judgment, and follow-through, such as technical design, migration planning, and end-to-end project execution.

Claude Opus 4.5 is Anthropic’s frontier reasoning model optimized for complex software engineering, agentic workflows, and long-horizon computer use. It offers strong multimodal capabilities, competitive performance across real-world coding and reasoning benchmarks, and improved robustness to prompt injection. The model is designed to operate efficiently across varied effort levels, enabling developers to trade off speed, depth, and token usage depending on task requirements. It comes with a new parameter to control token efficiency, which can be accessed using the OpenRouter Verbosity parameter with low, medium, or high. Opus 4.5 supports advanced tool use, extended context management, and coordinated multi-agent setups, making it well-suited for autonomous research, debugging, multi-step planning, and spreadsheet/browser manipulation. It delivers substantial gains in structured reasoning, execution reliability, and alignment compared to prior Opus generations, while reducing token overhead and improving performance on long-running tasks.
