Overview
API access to Claude models for building custom coding agents, with strong code reasoning, tool use, and computer use capabilities.
Details
The Anthropic API provides programmatic access to Claude models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) that are widely used as the backbone for custom coding agents. Claude is known for strong code reasoning, large context windows, tool use including computer use, and the ability to handle complex multi-file engineering tasks. Many AI coding products (Cursor, Cline, Continue, Aider, Claude Code) use Anthropic’s API as their primary or default model. The API is foundational infrastructure for the broader AI coding agent ecosystem.
