Claude 3 Opus

Claude 3 Opus is Anthropic's most thoughtful and deliberate model — it takes its time to reason through complex problems, excels at nuanced writing, and handles ambiguous or multi-step tasks with careful attention. It tends toward thoroughness over speed, which means responses are detailed and well-considered but come at higher latency and cost compared to its siblings. It's the colleague who writes the long, careful memo when others dash off a quick reply.
