Claude Haiku 4.5 is Anthropic’s fastest and most efficient model, delivering near-frontier intelligence at a fraction of the cost and latency of larger Claude models. Matching Claude Sonnet 4’s performance across reasoning, coding, and computer-use tasks, Haiku 4.5 brings frontier-level capability to real-time and high-volume applications.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Claude Sonnet 5 is built to be the most agentic Sonnet model yet. It can plan, use tools such as browsers and terminals, and operate autonomously at a level that only recently required larger and more expensive models.
Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic’s upgraded Sonnet-class model that delivers greater performance than Claude Sonnet 5 while running more than 30% faster and at a lower cost for many workloads. Designed for agent-based coding, tool usage, and everyday professional tasks, it's ideal for developers and teams building fast and powerful AI agents.
