Recommended Use Cases

CodingAnalysisResearchCreative Writing

Strengths

  • Long-running agentic coding, built for multi-step changes across large codebases
  • Adaptive thinking is always on, with an effort ladder from low to max; much of its capability is available below maximum effort
  • 1M-token context window, 128K output, and text, image and PDF input
  • Precise reading of dense charts, diagrams and screenshots without tools, plus computer use through a dedicated toolset
  • Anthropic's automated behavioral audit reports low rates of misaligned, overeager or destructive actions

Limitations

  • Thinking cannot be disabled and forced tool use (tool_choice any or tool) returns an error
  • The system card reports it is more likely to follow malicious instructions embedded in text a user pastes into the prompt, and more often accepts unverifiable claims of authorization
  • Cybersecurity and biology safety classifiers run with a wide safety margin and can decline some benign or borderline requests
  • Anthropic publishes no GPQA Diamond, SWE-bench Verified or ARC-AGI-2 score for this model; the MMMU-Pro score shown comes from third-party testing
