Strengths
  • + Deepest reasoning of the Claude family
  • + Best for ambiguous, planning-heavy tasks
  • + Half the per-token price of GPT-5.5 while staying in the frontier coding/professional tier
  • + 1M-token context window with up to 128K output tokens
  • + mini variant targeted at subagent and computer-use workloads for high-volume agent fleets
Tradeoffs
  • − Highest cost tier — not viable as default model
  • − Higher latency than Sonnet / Haiku
  • − OpenAI directs complex reasoning and coding to GPT-5.5 instead
  • − Older knowledge cutoff (Aug 31, 2025) than GPT-5.5
