Anthropic recommendations were presented for choosing cloud models for developing, analyzing and working with data....
The current line includes four models: Haiku 5.5, Sonata 5.5, Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.2.
The main recommendation is to start most tasks with Opus 5.5: according to the company, it provides the optimal balance between features and cost.
Sonata 5.5 is suitable for typical tasks, fixing errors and working on clear technical specifications.
Haiku 5.5 is designed to perform very basic data-intensive tasks such as classification, routing and information extraction.
Example 5.2 is recommended for the most complex projects: large-scale architectural changes, software migrations, financial models and scientific calculations.
The authors also advise not to rush to switch to a more expensive model: sometimes it is enough to increase the level of computational effort or divide tasks between several models, and entrust simple work to cheaper Bloomberg versions.
