    Best for: Everyday coding · Document and slide creation · Fast iteration

    Watch out: Vendor scores use Anthropic's evaluation setup. between_tools turns off up-front thinking only at high effort or below. Forced tool use and non-default temperature/top_p/top_k error; older computer_20251124 and some advisors are rejected. Thinking blocks are model/conversation-bound; progress text needs a display setting that returns it. Haiku 5.5 is announced, not released as of October 1.

Need a shortlist, not a changelog?

Release trackers tell you what shipped. Decision tools tell you what fits.

Use the AI coding harness finder or other guided tools when constraints (budget, latency, open weights) matter more than launch-day buzz.

How this list is built

Same verified dataset as the rest of the AI models section.

A model appears here only when its verified release date falls inside the rolling 28-day window. Missing dates are excluded on purpose — we do not invent launch days.

Pricing and benchmarks still carry their own verification dates on comparison pages.
