Claude Models
Every Claude language model, explained in plain English. Anthropic's Claude models — the Opus, Sonnet and Haiku family behind Claude Code and the Claude apps.
What are the Claude models?
Anthropic releases new AI models regularly, and the announcements are usually written for engineers. We explain each model in language anyone can follow: what it does well, what it costs, what it can handle, and how it compares to the one before it.
