Claude Models: Every Version Compared

One page per Claude model version: launch dates, what changed, community sentiment, and benchmark performance for Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku releases.

This section tracks Claude model versions individually: what each release changed, how the community rated it in its first weeks, and how it performs on benchmarks. Anthropic ships several Claude releases a year across the Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku families, and version differences matter: a workflow tuned for one release can behave differently on the next.

Each model page collects launch facts with absolute dates, notable strengths and issues reported by real users on our live Claude tracker, and LMArena standing from the Claude benchmarks. New pages are added as models ship, so this section grows with every release.
