Anthropic: Claude Haiku 4.5

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.

Fast-mode variant of Opus 5 - identical capabilities with higher output speed at 2x pricing relative to regular Opus 5.

Note: As of September 1, 2026, this dedicated fast model is deprecated. Fast mode is now served by the fast service tier endpoint on Claude Opus 5 — request it with service_tier: "fast" or speed: "fast". Requests to this model keep working and are served by the same fast tier capacity, so no action is required, but new integrations should target the regular model.

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.

This model always redirects to the latest model in the Claude Fable family.

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.
