AI
Claude is Anthropic's family of language models, usable through a chat interface or via the API in your own applications and agents.
Claude is often chosen for long documents, writing and work where instructions must be followed precisely. In practice the best model differs per task.
Never hard-wire one model into your process. Choose per task and build so you can switch models without rebuilding everything.
In practice
Claude invents facts too when the source is missing. Have it work from your documents and keep a review step before publishing.
