1. State-of-the-Art Image Generation

• Produces high-quality, detailed images optimized for realism, style control and prompt fidelity.
• Designed to handle complex visual scenes, compositions and lighting conditions.

2. Natively Multimodal Architecture

• Understands and reasons over both text and images as inputs.
• Ideal for workflows like editing based on reference images, expanding sketches or mockups and visual concept development.

3. Flexible Output Resolutions & Quality Levels

• Supports multiple resolutions including 1024x1024, 1024x1536 and 1536x1024.
• Offers three quality tiers (Low, Medium, High) to balance cost, speed and maximum detail.

4. Multiple Pricing Models

• Pay-per-token for multimodal input: text tokens and image tokens.
• Pay-per-image generation for final output: low, medium and high quality tiers.
• Enables businesses to balance cost and output needs.

5. Broad Use Cases

• Product photography and marketing assets.
• Illustration, concept art and creative ideation.
• UX/UI mockups.
• Style-guided image creation.
• Generating reference images for design or storytelling.

6. Supported Across Major API Endpoints

• Available via Chat Completions, Responses, Realtime, Assistants and Images (generations/edits) endpoints.
• Allows tight integration into automated creative pipelines or user-facing apps.

7. Simplified Model Behavior for Stability

• No streaming, function calling, structured outputs or fine-tuning; focused solely on high-quality image generation.

8. Consistent Results via Snapshots

• Supports snapshots for version locking to ensure long-term reproducibility.

9. Ideal For

• Designers, marketers and creatives.
• Product teams needing image assets.
• App builders integrating image generation workflows.
• Agencies producing visual content at scale.

1. Best-in-class coding performance

• #1 on SWE-bench Verified (77.2% standard, 82.0% high-compute).
• Excels at debugging, architecture, and multi-file code generation.
• Maintains coherence for extremely long tasks (30+ hours).

2. State-of-the-art computer use & agents

• Leads OSWorld at 61.4%.
• Strongest model for agentic workflows, multi-step tool use, and real computer control.
• Powering Claude Code, the new Claude Agent SDK, and Chrome agent actions.

3. Advanced reasoning & math

• Large improvements across reasoning-heavy benchmarks (AIME, MMMLU, τ2-bench, Terminal-Bench).
• Deep multi-step reasoning with extended or interleaved thinking.

4. High alignment & safety

• Most aligned Claude model to date with reduced deception, hallucinations, sycophancy, and harmful compliance.
• Strong protections against prompt injection for agentic tasks (ASL-3 safeguards).

5. Domain-expert performance

• Notable gains in finance, law, medicine, and STEM tasks.
• Trusted by early customers for long-context legal analysis, multi-file engineering, security research, and red-teaming.
