Claude is Anthropic's family of large language models and conversational assistant, designed with a focus on being helpful, harmless, and honest. It is known for strong long-form reasoning, careful instruction-following, and large context windows that allow it to work with entire codebases or lengthy documents at once. Projects let users organize conversations around persistent context, such as a codebase or a set of reference documents, so Claude can stay consistent across many related tasks. Artifacts create a side-by-side workspace for iterating on code, documents, and diagrams generated during a conversation. Claude is available directly via claude.ai, as an API for developers building on top of the model, and integrated into products like Claude Code for agentic software development tasks.
