Claude
Anthropic's frontier model family.
Claude is the model I reach for first. Opus for hard reasoning, Sonnet for production, Haiku for speed — all built around extended thinking, tool use, and the safest pairing for agentic work.
- Long-context windows up to 1M tokens for whole-repo reasoning
- Native tool use + computer use + extended thinking
- Best-in-class coding & writing for production work
Why
Most teams pick the wrong model and blame the prompt. Claude is the safest default — strongest at code, longest context, cleanest tool use — so the rest of the stack stops fighting the model.
How
- Opus on hard reasoning, Sonnet for production defaults, Haiku where speed wins
- Plan mode + skills + hooks wired in from day one
- Cost ceilings + routing rules so the bill never surprises you
