Capabilities

1. Intelligence & Reasoning

  • Outperforms previous Claude models and competitor LLMs across major benchmarks.
  • Excels in graduate-level reasoning (GPQA), knowledge tasks (MMLU), and coding (HumanEval).
  • Handles nuance, humor, and complex instructions with human-like clarity.

2. Speed & Efficiency

  • Runs 2x faster than Claude 3 Opus, making it ideal for real-time and high-volume workflows.
  • Cost-effective pricing: $3/M input tokens and $15/M output tokens.
  • Supports a 200K token context window, enabling rich, long-form reasoning.

3. Coding Capabilities

  • Solves significantly more coding and bug-fix tasks (64% vs Opus's 38% in internal evaluations).
  • Can autonomously write, edit, and execute code when tool use is enabled.
  • Strong at translating and modernizing legacy codebases.

4. Vision Strength

  • Best vision model in the Claude family, surpassing Opus on vision benchmarks.
  • Excellent at interpreting charts, graphs, and imperfect images.
  • Reliable text extraction from low-quality visuals for retail, logistics, finance, etc.

5. Agentic Workflows

  • Highly capable for multi-step task orchestration.
  • Performs well as the engine for agents requiring reasoning, planning, and tool-calling abilities.

6. Content Quality

  • Produces natural, relatable writing with improved tone, style, and context awareness.
  • Strong at long-form content creation and editing.

7. Safety & Reliability

  • Rated ASL-2, meeting Anthropic's safety standards.
