Under the objective Differentiate between Claude model types (e.g., Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) (Domain 3:
Product and Model Selection), Anthropic structures its model family across three clear tiers of intelligence, latency, and cost:
* Claude Haiku: The fastest, most cost-efficient, and lightweight model designed for high-volume, low- latency tasks and simple classification.
* Claude Sonnet: The balanced, versatile enterprise workhorse combining high intelligence and throughput for everyday knowledge-work tasks.
* Claude Opus: The frontier model offering deep reasoning and analytical capacity for complex, multi- step problem solving at higher latency and operational cost.
Option C perfectly summarizes these structural trade-offs. Options A, B, and D misrepresent the capability hierarchy, speed profiles, and architectural tiering of the Claude family.
