Anthropic: Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Claude 3.5 Sonnet (October 2024) remains a strong performer in coding, with one of the highest coding index scores among older-generation models, plus multimodal input, tool use, and a 200K context window. It has since been superseded by newer Claude versions, but still offers meaningful capability for coding and content workflows.

New Claude 3.5 Sonnet delivers better-than-Opus capabilities, faster-than-Sonnet speeds, at the same Sonnet prices. Sonnet is particularly good at: - Coding: Scores ~49% on SWE-Bench Verified, higher than the last best score, and without any fancy prompt scaffolding
- Data science: Augments human data science expertise; navigates unstructured data while using multiple tools for insights
- Visual processing: excelling at interpreting charts, graphs, and images, accurately transcribing text to derive insights beyond just the text alone
- Agentic tasks: exceptional tool use, making it great at agentic tasks (i.e. complex, multi-step problem solving tasks that require engaging with other systems) #multimodal
