About Anthropic Claude API

The Anthropic Claude API gives developers programmatic access to the Claude model family — Opus, Sonnet and Haiku — recognised as the most safety-aligned and reliably instruction-following AI models available. Claude Opus achieves state-of-the-art scores on complex reasoning, nuanced writing and coding benchmarks. Claude Haiku is the fastest and most cost-efficient model for latency-sensitive production workloads. The 200,000-token context window processes entire codebases, legal documents or research corpora in a single API call — the longest context among frontier commercial models. Constitutional AI training makes Claude the preferred choice for enterprise deployments requiring reduced hallucination, reliable instruction following and refusal of genuinely harmful requests. Supports streaming, tool use (function calling), vision, batch processing and prompt caching for significant cost reduction on repeated contexts. Available through Anthropic directly, AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI and Azure AI Studio. Competitive per-token pricing with the highest safety and instruction-following reliability ratings among enterprise AI teams.
