Claude Sonnet4.6claude-sonnet-4-6
Best speed/intelligence balance — 1M context, near-Opus coding, the production default.
Build reasoning agents, coding tools, and high-volume AI workflows with the Claude models currently available through LinkModel.
Anthropic develops the Claude family of language models. Opus targets the most capable reasoning and agent workloads, Sonnet balances intelligence, speed, and cost, and Haiku is optimized for fast, efficient tasks. LinkModel only presents a model as available when it appears in the live catalog.
Choose Opus for the most demanding reasoning and agent work, Sonnet for balanced production workloads, or Haiku for speed and efficiency. This catalog only shows Anthropic models currently listed on LinkModel.
