Model Card
Claude Sonnet 4.6 is Anthropic's latest mid-tier model released February 2026, delivering near-flagship Opus-level performance in coding, computer use, and agentic tasks at a fraction of the cost ($3/$15 per million tokens). It features a 1M token context window in beta, scores 79.6% on SWE-bench Verified and 72.5% on OSWorld. Developers preferred it over both Sonnet 4.5 (~70% of the time) and even Opus 4.5 (~59%) in real-world coding tests.

Claude Opus 4.7 Fast
Claude Opus 4.7 Fast is a high-speed configuration of Anthropic's most capable model, delivering up to 2.5x faster output token generation with no reduction in quality or capabilities. It runs the same Opus 4.7 model — which scores 87.6% on SWE-bench Verified (up from 80.8% on Opus 4.6), 94.2% on GPQA Diamond, and 69.4% on Terminal-Bench 2.0 — but optimized for lower latency at premium pricing ($30/$150 per MTok). It supports the full 1M token context window and 128k max output tokens. Fast mode benefits are focused on output tokens per second, not time to first token. It is ideal for latency-sensitive agentic workflows, live coding sessions, and real-time tasks where response speed matters. For cost-sensitive or batch workloads, standard Opus 4.7 offers the same intelligence at lower cost.
ChatClaude Opus 4.7
Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's most capable generally available model, built for complex reasoning and agentic coding. It offers a step-change improvement in long-horizon agentic work over its predecessor, Opus 4.6, along with strong gains in knowledge work, vision, and file-system-based memory. The model supports a 1M-token context window, 128k max output tokens, and adaptive thinking. It introduces high-resolution image input (up to 2576px / 3.75MP), a new `xhigh` effort level for demanding coding tasks, and task budgets (beta) that let the model self-moderate token usage across an agentic loop. Priced at $5 / $25 per million input/output tokens. Best suited for developers building autonomous agents, multi-step coding workflows, and vision-heavy pipelines where reliability and depth of reasoning matter most.
ChatClaude Opus 4.6 Fast
Claude Opus 4.6 Fast is a high-speed configuration of Anthropic's most intelligent model, delivering up to 2.5x faster output token generation with no reduction in quality or capabilities. It runs the same Opus 4.6 model — state-of-the-art on benchmarks like Terminal-Bench 2.0 for agentic coding, Humanity's Last Exam for multidisciplinary reasoning, and GDPval-AA for professional knowledge work — but optimized for lower latency at premium pricing ($30/$150 per MTok). It supports the full 1M token context window and 128k max output tokens. Fast mode is ideal for latency-sensitive, interactive workflows such as rapid iteration, live debugging, and real-time agentic tasks where waiting on responses breaks your flow. For cost-sensitive or batch workloads, standard Opus 4.6 offers the same intelligence at lower cost.
