Claude 4 is an artificial intelligence model released by Anthropic, featuring significant improvements in natural language processing, programming, and complex task reasoning capabilities.
Features
Claude Opus 4
- Coding Capability: Known as “the best coding model in the world,” Opus 4 excels in complex and long-duration tasks, capable of continuous work for up to 7 hours, making it suitable for highly focused, multi-step tasks.
- Reasoning Ability: Possesses strong reasoning capabilities, able to handle complex data analysis tasks and autonomously adjust behavior patterns in response to environmental changes.
- Memory Function: Introduces memory persistence, maintaining context between sessions and solving the “forgetfulness problem,” which enhances performance in long-term tasks.
- Tool Use: Supports the use of external tools (e.g., web search) during reasoning processes, improving task execution flexibility and accuracy.
Claude Sonnet 4
- Performance Improvement: Sonnet 4 is a major upgrade from Claude Sonnet 3.7, offering higher coding efficiency and better responsiveness, suitable for daily development tasks.
- Adaptability: Performs excellently in handling complex analysis and demanding applications, capable of understanding nuanced instructions and context, and identifying and correcting its own mistakes.
- Multi-Mode Operation: Supports near-instant responses and extended reasoning, allowing users to switch between these modes as needed to enhance performance and accuracy.
- Efficiency: Optimized for cost-effectiveness, ideal for high-frequency production workloads such as code reviews and bug fixes.
