Claude 3.5 Sonnet—our most intelligent model yet—is also our strongest vision model. Claude 3.5 Sonnet surpasses Claude 3 Opus across all standard vision benchmarks. All this, available to try for free: https://claude.ai. Improvements are most noticeable in tasks requiring visual reasoning, like interpreting charts, graphs, or transcribing text from imperfect images.
