| Description | ||
| Summary | Gemini 4 Argon is Google's flagship reasoning model, built for complex software engineering, deep mathematical and scientific problem solving, and autonomous multi-step agents. Google trained it to keep context across long, multi-step tasks and to turn long documents mixing text, tables, charts and images into a single grounded output. It leads the Vals Index across finance, legal, coding and tax work, and supports long decode of up to 1M output tokens in a single response. | Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's most capable Sonnet-class model, delivering frontier-level performance across coding, agentic workflows, and professional knowledge tasks. It supports text, image, and file inputs, features a 1M-token context window, and offers adaptive thinking with configurable reasoning levels (low, medium, high, max, and x-high) to balance speed, cost, and reasoning depth. Optimized for complex coding, long-horizon agent execution, and professional workflows, Sonnet 5 combines strong reasoning, robust instruction following, and enhanced safety features, including an updated tokenizer and real-time cyber safeguards for high-risk dual-use scenarios. |
