25If you're unsure which model to use, start with [Claude Opus 5](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5/overview) for complex agentic coding and enterprise work; for the highest available capability, use [Claude Fable 5](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/fable-5/overview). All current models support text and image input, text output, multilingual capabilities, vision, and tool use; each model’s page lists the platforms it is available on.

7676* **Performance:** Top-tier results in reasoning, coding, multilingual tasks, long-context handling, honesty, and image processing. See [Prompting best practices](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/claude-prompting-best-practices) for general and model-specific prompting guidance.
7777* **Engaging responses:** Claude models are ideal for applications that require rich, human-like interactions. If you prefer more concise responses, adjust your prompts to guide the model toward the desired output length. Refer to the [prompt engineering guides](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering) for details.
78* **Output quality:** When migrating from a previous model generation, you may notice larger improvements in overall performance. If you're on Claude Opus 4.8 or earlier, see [Migrating to Claude Opus 5](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-5/migration-guide#migrating-from-claude-opus-4-8-to-claude-opus-5).
