Claude Opus 4.8
Gemini 2.5 ProClaude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic’s newest and most powerful publicly available model. It is suitable for the most complex tasks. It is Anthropic’s strongest model for complex reasoning, long-horizon agent programming, and highly autonomous work.claude-opus-4-8 does not display thought content by default; you need to set the additional parameter "display": "summarized" to enable it
Gemini 2.5 Pro is an advanced reasoning model developed by Google, optimized for solving highly complex problems across multiple domains. It can deeply understand large-scale information from diverse sources, including text, audio, images, video, and even entire codebases. The model demonstrates strong reasoning capabilities in coding, mathematics, and STEM-related tasks, and supports long-context analysis for large datasets, codebases, and technical documentation.
