Claude 3 Sonnet
Claude 3 Sonnet is Anthropic's mid-tier model from the Claude 3 generation, positioned between the fast Haiku and the flagship Opus. It targets the sweet spot of response quality and latency, making it practical for production workloads that need more reasoning depth than a lightweight model but cannot absorb the cost of Opus-level inference.
Sonnet handles complex writing, summarization, data extraction, and multi-step reasoning well. Anthropic trained it with a strong emphasis on harmlessness and honesty, which shows in careful, nuanced outputs. It suits enterprise deployments where consistent quality, controllable behavior, and reasonable throughput all matter simultaneously.
