AI Evaluation
European hosting and compliance remain the case for Mistral; the benchmarks don't. At Haiku-level intelligence and five times Haiku's task cost, this tier needs a price cut or a better model.
Pros
- EU-based provider and data residency
- Simple commercial terms
- 262k context
Cons
- Haiku-level intelligence at 5x the cost
- Worst value score (25) in our tracked field
- No agentic benchmark presence

Claude Opus 4.8
Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's June 2026 flagship model, succeeding Opus 4.7. It posts a headline score of 81 on the hardest agentic coding and reasoning suites, holds long-horizon tool-use plans together across far more steps, and is notably more candid about its own uncertainty - refusing to fabricate rather than confidently pressing on. It is the default choice for serious agentic and software-engineering workloads.
Claude Fable 5
Claude Fable 5 is Anthropic's most intelligent generally available model and the first of its Mythos-class tier, positioned above Opus. It tops the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 60, leads SWE-bench Pro at 80.3%, and dominates knowledge-work benchmarks on substance - at $2.75 per measured task, the highest in the field. It returned to sale on 1 July 2026 after a fortnight-long US export-control suspension.
Claude Sonnet 5
Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's mid-size default, released 30 June 2026 with a 1M-token context window as standard. It scores 53 on the Intelligence Index - three points off Opus 4.8 - and actually edges the flagship on GDPval knowledge work, at roughly half the per-token cost, with introductory $2/$10 pricing until 31 August 2026.
