Claude Opus 5Anthropic's successor to Opus 4.8 for complex agentic coding and enterprise work. Strongest on deep reasoning, agentic and long-horizon work, and test-time compute scaling, at half the cost of Claude Fable 5. Thinking is on by default with a 1M token context window and 128K max output.
Claude Sonnet 5Best combination of speed and intelligence in the Sonnet tier, delivering near-Opus quality on coding and agentic work. Successor to Sonnet 4.6 with adaptive thinking on by default, a 1M token context window, and 128K max output.
Claude Opus 4.8Anthropic's most capable model released May 2026. Hybrid reasoning model with a 1M token context window, stronger across coding, agentic tasks, and professional work over Opus 4.7. Features adaptive thinking via the effort parameter (defaults to high). Knowledge cutoff January 2026.
