Claude

Anthropic's family of large language models, known for safety, long context, and instruction-following.

Full Definition

Claude is a family of large language models developed by Anthropic, designed around Constitutional AI principles to be helpful, harmless, and honest. The family spans capability tiers — Haiku (fast and cheap), Sonnet (balanced), and Opus (most capable) — allowing developers to choose cost-performance tradeoffs. Claude models feature industry-leading context windows (up to 200k tokens), strong instruction-following, and built-in resistance to jailbreaks and harmful content. Anthropic's safety-first research culture means Claude is one of the most extensively red-teamed commercial models. Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3 Opus consistently top LLM benchmarks.

Examples

1

Using Claude Sonnet via the API to power a document analysis pipeline that processes 150-page contracts in a single context window.

2

Using Claude Haiku as a low-latency classifier in a content moderation system handling thousands of requests per minute.
