Claude (Opus / Sonnet)

Anthropic's model family; leader in coding/agents

Claude is Anthropic's model family, tiered as Opus (most capable), Sonnet (balanced/workhorse), and Haiku (fast). The 2025-2026 generations lead on agentic coding, long-horizon tool use, and are the backbone of Claude Code. Claude trains and serves across AWS Trainium and Google TPUs as well as Nvidia GPUs.
