Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Reasoning)
Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Reasoning) is an API model from Anthropic. It’s positioned for general text tasks—work that benefits from iteration, not just one-shot answers.

How are Intelligence, Speed & Cost bucketed?
Intelligence and Speed buckets are percentile ranks on
Artificial Analysis. Cost buckets are fixed dollar
thresholds keyed off output-token price ($/M out).

Percentile boundaries are computed across every model in the tree that reports the underlying benchmark for each capability.
What it feels like
- First hybrid-reasoning model — same checkpoint switches between fast standard mode and extended thinking
- 70.3% on SWE-bench Verified with custom scaffold — industry-leading at release; jumped from 62.3% baseline
- Output token limit jumped 8x to 64K (128K beta) — made long-form code/docs viable in one response
Best use cases
- Agentic coding with Claude Code CLI — the model designed for this surface
- Math proofs, multi-step logic, and scientific analysis where extended thinking pays off
- Long-form code generation, technical writing, or analysis (up to 128K output)
Tools to try
Not ideal for
- Casual chat or copy that doesn't need reasoning — extended thinking adds latency without benefit
- Hard reasoning leaderboards by late 2025 — Claude 4 / Opus 4.5 have moved well past it
