- In short
- The Claude model family is a three-tier spectrum: Haiku at the fast, efficient end; Sonnet in the middle as the balanced, general-purpose tier; and Opus at the thorough, high-capability end. The tiers trade response depth against speed in a consistent direction -- moving up the spectrum buys stronger handling of complex work at the cost of turnaround, so no tier is strictly better for every task.
