| Description | |||
| Summary | Opus 4.6 is Anthropic's most capable model for coding and long-running professional workflows, designed for agents that operate across entire workflows rather than single prompts. It demonstrates strong performance on large codebases, complex refactoring, and multi-step debugging, with improved contextual understanding, deeper problem decomposition, and higher reliability on challenging engineering tasks compared to earlier generations. Beyond software development, Opus 4.6 excels at sustained knowledge work, producing near production-ready documents, technical plans, and analyses in a single pass while maintaining coherence across long outputs and extended sessions. Its strength in persistence, judgment, and structured execution makes it well suited for technical design, migration planning, and end-to-end project execution. | Perceptron Mk1.5 chat model that accepts audio input. Audio and text input are billed per token. | Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's Sonnet-class model for well-scoped everyday work, serving as a direct upgrade to Sonnet 5. It excels at feature development, bug fixing, and creating polished documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, while offering clearer writing and communication than its predecessor. |
