Claude

Claude is Anthropic's flagship AI assistant and conversational model family, accessible through the claude.com and claude.ai chat interfaces, desktop and mobile apps, and the Claude Code developer tool. Claude is built around frontier large language models named Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus, each tuned for different trade-offs of speed, capability, and cost, and is designed for writing, analysis, coding, research, creative work, and agentic tasks where the model takes multi-step actions. The consumer product includes a free plan for everyday questions and conversations, a Pro plan for heavier daily use that costs 20 dollars per month billed monthly or 200 dollars per year, and Max plans that provide 5x or 20x the usage of Pro within five-hour windows for power users. Team plans add shared workspaces and seats with more usage than Pro, while Enterprise plans are built for large organizations with security controls, governance, and scale, priced per seat with usage billed at API rates. Beyond chat, Claude includes Claude Code for terminal-based software engineering, Claude Cowork for running agentic tasks across desktop applications, Claude Design for design workflows, and integrations like Claude in Chrome and Claude for Microsoft 365. Developers build on the Claude platform through the API with per-token pricing, prompt caching options, batch processing, and a marketplace of connectors, plugins, and skills. Anthropic positions Claude with strong safety research, and the company provides enterprise-grade compliance features including SOC 2 certification and data handling options for businesses. On the enterprise side, Anthropic provides data processing agreements, compliance documentation, and dedicated solutions for cybersecurity, legal, customer support, financial services, government, healthcare, and education, with training and certification through the Anthropic Academy. The ecosystem includes an app marketplace, connectors, plugins, and skills that extend Claude's capabilities, plus startup programs that grant free credits to early-stage teams. Claude is localized and accessible through multiple channels including the web, desktop applications, and mobile, with dedicated features like Claude in Chrome for browser-based context and Claude for Microsoft 365 for document workflows. Model names and generations are updated regularly, with the newest flagship models documented on Anthropic's model pages, and the platform publishes benchmarks and customer stories that demonstrate real-world usage across industries.
