Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 4

Claude Sonnet 4 from Anthropic is designed to process extensive text and handle diverse input modalities including text, images, and files. It supports reasoning capabilities and can engage with external tools for enhanced functionality. With a context length of one million tokens, it excels in handling complex tasks that require deep understanding and interaction. This model should be considered by those who need robust, multi-modal processing power and the ability to integrate external tools, though its price point of $3.0 per million input tokens and $15.0 per million output tokens makes it more suitable for projects with a defined budget. Its blended benchmark score of 59.1 across five independent benchmarks suggests strong performance in specific areas but may not be the best overall choice if cost is a significant factor.
