Anthropic: Claude 3.7 Sonnet
Claude 3.7 Sonnet is a capable mid-tier model from Anthropic with solid reasoning, vision support, a 200K context window, and full tool/function calling — but it has been superseded by newer Claude Sonnet versions, placing it firmly in the 'very good' tier rather than the top tier. Good for content workflows and instruction-following tasks at a reasonable price point.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet is an advanced large language model with improved reasoning, coding, and problem-solving capabilities. It introduces a hybrid reasoning approach, allowing users to choose between rapid responses and extended, step-by-step processing for complex tasks. The model demonstrates notable improvements in coding, particularly in front-end development and full-stack updates, and excels in agentic workflows, where it can autonomously navigate multi-step processes. Claude 3.7 Sonnet maintains performance parity with its predecessor in standard mode while offering an extended reasoning mode for enhanced accuracy in math, coding, and instruction-following tasks.
