# Models overview¶
¶
Claude is a family of state-of-the-art large language models developed by Anthropic. This guide introduces the available models and compares their performance.¶
¶
---¶
¶
## Choosing a model¶
¶
If you're unsure which model to use, start with **Claude Opus 4.85** for complex agentic coding and enterprise work. For workloads that need the highest available capability, use [Claude Fable 5](#claude-fable-5-and-claude-mythos-5).¶
¶
All current Claude models support text and image input, text output, multilingual capabilities, and vision. Models are available through the Claude API, [Amazon Bedrock](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-in-amazon-bedrock), [Claude Platform on AWS](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-platform-on-aws), [Google Cloud](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-on-vertex-ai), and [Microsoft Foundry](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-in-microsoft-foundry).¶
¶
Once you've picked a model, [learn how to make your first API call](/docs/en/get-started).¶
¶
### Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5¶
¶
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`) is Anthropic's most capable widely released model. Claude Mythos 5 (`claude-mythos-5`) shares Claude Fable 5's specs and pricing and joins the invitation-only Claude Mythos Preview (`claude-mythos-preview`) within [Project Glasswing](https://anthropic.com/glasswing). See [Introducing Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5](/docs/en/about-claude/models/introducing-claude-fable-5-and-claude-mythos-5) for launch details and API changes.¶
¶
Claude Fable 5 is generally available on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry beginning June 9, 2026. Claude Mythos 5 is not generally available: it is offered in limited availability to approved customers in [Project Glasswing](https://anthropic.com/glasswing), beginning the same day. For access, contact your Anthropic, AWS, or Google Cloud account team.¶

<Info>¶
Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Mythos Preview are offered separately for defensive cybersecurity workflows as part of [Project Glasswing](https://anthropic.com/glasswing). Access is invitation-only and there is no self-serve sign-up.¶
</Info>¶
¶
<Note>¶
Every Claude model ID is a pinned snapshot. Models with a date in the ID (for example, ¶
¶
`20250929`¶
¶
) are fixed to that specific release. Starting with the Claude 4.6 generation, model IDs use a dateless format that is also a pinned snapshot, not an evergreen pointer. For models before the 4.6 generation, entries in the Claude API alias column are convenience pointers that resolve to a dated model ID. For details on the naming convention and how versioning works, see ¶
¶
[Model IDs and versioning](/docs/en/about-claude/models/model-ids-and-versions)¶
¶
.¶
</Note>¶
¶
<Note>¶
Starting with ¶
¶
**Claude Sonnet 4.5 and all subsequent models**¶
¶
(including Claude Sonnet 4.6), Bedrock offers two endpoint types: ¶
¶
**global endpoints**¶
¶
(dynamic routing for maximum availability) and ¶
¶
**regional endpoints**¶
¶
(guaranteed data routing through specific geographic regions). Google Cloud offers three endpoint types: global endpoints, ¶
¶
**multi-region endpoints**¶
¶
(dynamic routing within a geographic area), and regional endpoints. For more information, see ¶
¶
[Cloud platform pricing](/docs/en/about-claude/pricing#cloud-platform-pricing)¶
¶
.¶
</Note>¶
¶
<Note>¶
**Claude Platform on AWS**¶
¶
uses the same model IDs as the Claude API (for example, ¶
¶
`claude-opus-4-6`¶
¶
), not Bedrock-style IDs. Model lifecycle on Claude Platform on AWS follows Anthropic's first-party ¶
¶
[Model deprecations](/docs/en/about-claude/model-deprecations)¶
¶
, not Bedrock's. See ¶
¶
[Available models](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-platform-on-aws#available-models)¶
¶
for the model list.¶
</Note>¶
¶
<Tip>¶
You can query model capabilities and token limits programmatically with the [Models API](/docs/en/api/models/list). The response includes `max_input_tokens`, `max_tokens`, and a `capabilities` object for every available model.¶
</Tip>¶
¶
<Note>¶
On Claude Opus 4.8, the `effort` parameter defaults to `high` on all surfaces, including the Claude API, Claude Code, and claude.ai. On Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5, it defaults to `high` on the Claude API and Claude Code. Set `effort` explicitly to use a different level. See [Effort](/docs/en/build-with-claude/effort) for guidance on choosing a level.¶
</Note>¶
¶
<Note>¶
The Max output values in the table apply to the synchronous Messages API. On the [Message Batches API](/docs/en/build-with-claude/batch-processing#extended-output-beta), Claude Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 5, and Sonnet 4.6 support up to 300k output tokens by using the `output-300k-2026-03-24` beta header.¶

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