2525If you're unsure which model to use, start with [Claude Opus 5.5](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5-5/overview) for most workloads. Use [Claude Fable 5.1](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/fable-5-1/overview) for demanding reasoning and long-horizon agentic work, or when your evals on Claude Opus 5.5 at higher effort still fall short. All current models support text and image input, text output, multilingual capabilities, vision, and tool use. Each model's page lists the platforms it's available on.

4747* **Comparative latency:** Relative to the current lineup. Actual latency depends on prompt length, output length, and thinking effort.
4848* **Pricing:** Base price per million tokens. Batch API requests are 50% off; prompt cache reads cost 10% of the base input price (2.5% on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, 5% on Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5). See Pricing for cache writes, long-context, and per-platform pricing.
from line 52
5252* **Context window:** 1M tokens is roughly 555k words or 2.5M Unicode characters on the current tokenizer (introduced with Claude Opus 4.7); models before it fit about 750k words in 1M tokens. 200k tokens is roughly 150k words.
5353* **Max output:** Synchronous Messages API limit. On the Message Batches API, Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Haiku 5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Opus 4.6, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 support up to 300k output tokens with the output-300k-2026-03-24 beta header.
5454* **Reliable knowledge cutoff:** The date through which the model’s knowledge is most extensive and reliable. Training data cutoff (under Additional details) is the broader range of data used. See Anthropic’s Transparency Hub for details.
55* **Retirement:** Anthropic’s commitment for the platforms that Anthropic operates. Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud set their own dates.
55* **Retirement:** Anthropic’s commitment for the platforms that Anthropic operates. Partner-operated platforms set their own dates.
5656* **Claude API alias:** For models before the 4.6 generation, the alias is a convenience pointer that resolves to the dated ID. Dateless IDs are their own pinned snapshot; the alias row repeats them.
5757* **Amazon Bedrock ID:** The ID on Bedrock’s Messages-API endpoint (Claude Opus 4.7 and later, plus Claude Haiku 4.5); a model offered only through Bedrock’s InvokeModel integration shows that ID instead. Bedrock offers global endpoints (dynamic routing) and regional endpoints (guaranteed data routing) for Claude Sonnet 4.5 and later, and sets its own lifecycle dates.
58* **Google Cloud ID:** Google Cloud offers global, multi-region, and regional endpoints, and sets its own lifecycle dates.
58* **Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed) ID:** Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed) offers global, multi-region, and regional endpoints, and sets its own lifecycle dates.
5959* **Microsoft Foundry ID:** Foundry deployments default to the Claude API model ID (the alias, where one exists); the deployment name is what you send. Foundry follows the Claude API lifecycle schedule.
6060* **Claude Platform on AWS ID:** Claude Platform on AWS uses the Claude API model IDs (the dateless form where the Claude API has an alias), not Bedrock-style IDs, and follows Anthropic’s first-party model lifecycle.
