claude-opus-4-8Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's most capable generally available model in the Opus family, designed for highly autonomous agents, long-horizon workflows, and advanced knowledge work. It supports text, image, and file inputs with text output, includes reasoning capabilities, and features a 1M-token context window for maintaining coherence across extended tasks and sessions. The model excels at multi-step reasoning, complex coding, and end-to-end project orchestration, including large codebases, multi-stage debugging, and long-running asynchronous agent pipelines. Beyond software engineering, it is highly effective for document drafting, presentation creation, data analysis, and memory-driven workflows, delivering consistent quality across very long outputs and complex projects.

Claude Fable 5.1 is an upgraded version of Fable 5, delivering broad improvements with particularly strong gains in agentic coding, long-running workflows, and professional knowledge work. It excels at large code refactors, front-end and visual code generation, financial analysis, and complex analytical tasks. Compared with Fable 5, it also produces more concise plans and summaries while maintaining strong performance across extended tasks, making it a natural upgrade for existing Fable workflows and a strong option alongside Opus 5 for reasoning-intensive applications.
Claude Sonnet 4.5 is Anthropic's most advanced Sonnet model, built for real-world agents and coding workflows. It delivers top-tier coding performance (including SWE-bench Verified) with stronger system design, security, and spec adherence, and supports long-running autonomous work with progress tracking. It introduces more powerful agent features — better tool orchestration, speculative parallel execution, and smarter context/memory management — making it especially effective for complex, multi-context workflows across engineering, security, finance, and research.
Claude Haiku 4.5 is Anthropic's fastest, most efficient model, offering near-frontier capability at much lower cost and latency. It now supports extended, controllable reasoning and full tool-assisted workflows, including coding and computer use. With >73% on SWE-bench Verified, it matches Sonnet-level performance while staying highly responsive for real-time and large-scale deployments.
Claude Sonnet 4 is a major upgrade over Sonnet 3.7, delivering stronger coding and reasoning with better precision and control. It reaches 72.7% on SWE-bench, while staying efficient and responsive, making it useful for everything from everyday coding to complex software projects. Improvements include better autonomous codebase navigation, fewer agent workflow errors, and more reliable handling of complex instructions.
