Today, Anthropic has unleashed the long-awaited Claude 4 models, Opus and Sonnet, onto the coding world. These models are not for the faint-hearted; they are finely tuned machines designed for one thing and one thing only - coding. It's like Anthropic has thrown down the gauntlet in the AI arena, declaring that to emerge victorious, you need a coding model that's more powerful than anything else out there. Forget about general reasoning; these models are all about that sweet, sweet code.
In a surprising turn of events, the agentic coding benchmark reveals that Sonnet outshines Opus, proving that sometimes the underdog comes out on top. Rakuten, a telecom giant, put Claude for Opus through its paces with a grueling 7-hour test, showcasing its potential for handling those marathon coding sessions with ease. Not stopping there, Anthropic's model even swooped in to solve a long-standing issue from the Excalibra GitHub repo in record time, leaving jaws on the floor.
But all this power and performance come at a cost - a hefty one at that. Claude 4 doesn't come cheap, but Anthropic isn't backing down on the pricing. While others may be slashing costs to lure in customers, Anthropic is standing firm, confident in their ability to attract those who understand the value of top-tier coding models. With Opus starting at $15 per million input query and Sonnet at $3 per million, these models are definitely on the pricier side of the spectrum. However, the industry is abuzz with excitement over the possibilities that Claude 4 brings to the table, especially with its availability on platforms like GitHub actions, VS code, and Jet Brains.
