Where most teams start
Coding
Anthropic's new flagship: 88.6% SWE-bench Verified, 69.2% SWE-bench Pro, and 74.6% Terminal-Bench 2.1 make it the cleanest production coding pick and migration target from Opus 4.7.
Agents
Best generally-available τ-bench (87.5); stays on-task across long tool loops and self-corrects without prompting.
Writing
Tops Chatbot Arena (1503) and writes paragraphs you'd ship; understands tone notes and edits like a copy chief.
Research
GPQA Diamond 94.2 (top GA) with the cleanest footnoted synthesis across many sources.
Image
The current photoreal leader — brand-consistent, with the best text rendering and hands in the open ecosystem.
Video
Best overall video quality in the catalog: 30-second clips, native audio, and up to 4K through Vertex AI.
