Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Anthropic
Anthropic's mid-2024 flagship Sonnet model and the first to introduce computer use (beta). Strong coding and agentic performance at a fraction of Opus pricing. The October 2024 revision improved tool use and agentic coding. Superseded by the Claude 4 family.
Strengths
- First Claude model with computer use (beta) for GUI automation
- Strong coding and agentic performance at Sonnet-class pricing
