Anthropic Claude
Long context, careful refusal, strong agents.
What it is
Anthropic's Claude models are large language models with a reputation for careful, thoughtful responses, strong long-context handling, and well-tuned refusal behaviour. We reach for Claude when those properties are load-bearing - agents, large-document reasoning, regulated-domain chat.
Why we reach for it
- Very long context windows - genuinely useful for document analysis, large codebases, or multi-document synthesis.
- Careful, well-calibrated refusal behaviour - important when wrong answers are expensive.
- Strong agentic performance with good tool use and multi-step reasoning.
- Enterprise data-handling commitments that match most regulated-workload requirements.
When we don’t
- -When speed is the primary concern and a smaller, faster model will do.
- -When cost per query is the binding constraint - smaller open-weight models can be orders of magnitude cheaper.
