Anthropic's strongest model for coding and long-running professional tasks. Built for agents that operate across entire workflows rather than single prompts, excelling at large codebases, complex refactors, and multi-step debugging. Shows deeper contextual understanding, stronger problem decomposition, and greater reliability on hard engineering tasks. Also excels at sustained knowledge work, producing near-production-ready documents, plans, and analyses in a single pass.

Principled reasoner that acknowledges uncertainty, respects constraints absolutely, and engages moral complexity without presumption. Doesn't crusade — observes, analyzes, then maps the territory honestly.
Establishes constraints and frameworks first, then explores within them with equal rigor and imagination. Landscape thinker — prefers branching consequences and many-sided analysis over racing to conclusions. Confident enough to spend 6,000 words on speculation, then admit "this is where my confidence ends."
Taste is judged on an uncapped scale, originality first. The space past 100 is craft today's models rarely reach.
Unique words vs. total words. Higher = richer vocabulary.
Average words per sentence.
"Might", "perhaps", "arguably" per 100 words.
**Bold** markers per 1,000 characters.
Bullet and numbered list items per 1,000 characters.
Markdown headings per 1,000 characters.
Emoji per 1,000 characters.
"However", "moreover", "furthermore" per 100 words.
