1. Advanced reasoning capability

• Designed for multi-step thinking across text, code, and visual inputs.
• Excels at math, science, logic puzzles, and complex analytical workflows.

2. Strong performance across domains

• Highly capable in technical writing, data analysis, and structured problem-solving.
• Useful for research, engineering tasks, and intricate instruction-following.

3. Visual reasoning support

• Accepts image inputs, enabling tasks such as diagram analysis, chart interpretation, and visual logic assessments.

4. High output capacity

• Up to 100,000 output tokens, supporting long-form content, technical breakdowns, and multi-part solutions.

5. Excellent instruction following

• Produces detailed, step-by-step responses for tasks requiring precision and clarity.
• Ideal for educational explanations, system design reasoning, and code walkthroughs.

6. Large 200K context window

• Handles long documents, multi-file reasoning, or extended conversations with minimal loss of context.

7. Broad API support

• Works with Chat Completions, Responses, Realtime, Assistants, Batch, Embeddings, Image Generation, and more.
• Supports streaming and function calling for advanced workflows.

8. Positioned as a legacy reasoning model

• Remains extremely capable but formally succeeded by GPT-5, which offers stronger reasoning and performance.

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.
