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.
25If you're unsure which model to use, start with [Claude Opus 5](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/opus-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 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. See Pricing for cache writes, long-context, and per-platform pricing.
