1
If you're still picking between three Claude models, that system doesn't exist anymore.
2
Anthropic quietly reshuffled the entire lineup and added a tier above the flagship model.
3
Most creators haven't caught up, today you do.
4
You sign up at Claude.ai with Google, Apple, or an email, and there's no credit card at the door.
5
Free gets you a real working Claude on the mid-tier model, capped by a rolling five-hour message window, and you get up to five projects.
6
You don't get Claude code and you don't get co-work on free.
7
Enterprise is custom pricing, sold through sales, and it adds SSO, audit logs, data residency, and compliance controls.
8
If you need that, you already have a procurement process for it.
9
At the top of any conversation, the model selector sits right next to the send button.
10
Click it and you pick which model you're talking to.
11
And right next to that is the effort and thinking control.
12
How hard Claude works on each response.
13
We'll get into what that actually does in a few minutes, because it changed completely in this generation.
14
Custom Instructures The one setting that changes every answer.
15
Here's what I actually have in mind.
16
I run a YouTube channel covering AI tools.
17
Default to direct specific answers.
18
Skip the hedging and the four option lists.
19
When you give me a number, tell me where it came from.
20
Push back if you think I'm wrong instead of agreeing by default.
21
That's it.
22
sentences and it changes the shape of every single response Claude gives me from that point forward.
23
The mistake most people make is writing something vague like be helpful and concise.
24
That doesn't constrain anything.
25
Write it like you're onboarding a new hire.
26
What to do, what to never do, and what tone to use.
27
This one setting takes 90 seconds to write
28
and it's probably the single highest leverage five minutes you'll spend in this entire video.
29
Projects solve a specific problem.
30
You stop re-explaining yourself every time you open a new chat.
31
Each project is its own workspace with its own knowledge base, its own instructions, and on paid plans, its own retrieval system that scales past the normal context limit.
32
I'm creating one here for a client research stream.
33
I upload the brand guide, the last two months of reports, and a competitor teardown.
34
From this point forward, every chat inside this project already has that context.
35
I never paste those documents again.
36
On the free plan, you get up to five projects total.
37
Paid plans give you unlimited projects, and when a project's knowledge base gets big enough to bump against the context limit,
38
Claude automatically switches into retrieval mode that expands capacity roughly tenfold without you doing anything.
39
If you're on a team or enterprise plan, you can share a project with specific people or your whole organization.
40
Two permission levels Can use means they can chat inside the project but can't touch the knowledge base or instructions.
41
Can edit means they can add documents, update instructions, and shape the project alongside you.
42
That's the difference between everyone on your team prompting from a blank slate and everyone starting from the same specialist context.
43
Memory, the new chat that already knows you.
44
Memory is different from projects.
45
Projects hold documents for one specific stream of work.
46
Memory holds facts about you and your patterns across everything you do outside of projects.
47
Turn it on in settings under capabilities.
48
Once it's running, Claude automatically summarizes your conversations roughly every 24 hours and builds a running picture.
49
Your role, your recurring projects, your work and style.
50
You don't have to ask it to remember anything.
51
But you can!
52
Just tell Claude directly what you want kept, and it updates the summary immediately instead of waiting for the next cycle.
53
Here's the demo I actually want you to see.
54
Two weeks ago, I told Claude in a normal chat
55
that I train four times a week on a push-pull split and that my left shoulder gets cranky on overhead press.
56
I never mentioned it again.
57
That's the whole feature in one screenshot.
58
New conversation, zero context pasted in, and it already knows.
59
Each project has its own separate memory space too.
60
So what Claude remembers about your client work in one project never bleeds into a personal chat outside of it.
61
There's also a chat search feature that rides along with memory.
62
You can search your entire conversation history the way you'd search email, or just ask Claude directly, what were we working on last Tuesday?
63
And it pulls up the thread.
64
One housekeeping habit worth building, open Settings Memory once a month and delete anything stale.
65
Claude is happy to remember things forever, even after they stop being true.
66
And if you're about to discuss something sensitive you don't want stored at all, there's an incognito toggle, top right of any standalone chat,
67
that skips memory entirely for that conversation.
68
This is the one most people misunderstand, because the old mental model is dead and nobody sent out a memo.
69
Under the old system, extended thinking used to be a manual toggle.
70
You turned it on, and then you
71
or whoever built the integration had to set a fixed token budget for how much Claude was allowed to think before answering.
72
You are basically guessing every single time.
73
If the budget was too small, Claude cut its reasoning short on a hard problem.
74
If the budget was too large, you paid for thinking you did not actually need.
75
The new system is called Adaptive Thinking, and it is the default now on Sonnet 5 and above.
76
Instead of you setting a fixed budget, Claude looks at the actual complexity of what you are asking and decides for itself
77
whether to think at all and how hard.
78
You control the ceiling with an effort level, not the exact token count.
79
There are four effort levels available to you, and they run from low up to max.
80
Let me show you the difference directly on the same prompt.
81
Plan a content calendar for a YouTube channel about AI tools.
82
Include video topics, post and schedule, and promotion strategy for the next four weeks.
83
Same prompt run three times.
84
Low effort, a quick list of four topics, one-line descriptions, no reasoning, response in seconds, medium effort, topics with rationale,
85
posting times with audience logic explained, a basic promotion framework.
86
And Matt's effort takes this one step further in a way that genuinely surprised me.
87
I asked it to help me plan a content calendar for my channel, and instead of just spitting out a plan, it stopped and asked me three clarifying questions first.
88
It wanted to know what niche the channel actually covers, roughly how many subscribers I'm working with and how often I ship videos right now.
89
None of that was in my prompt and honestly, none of it would have occurred to me to include upfront.
90
But the plan it produced after those three answers was miles more useful than what low
91
or high effort gave me on the same task.
92
That's the real shift at max.
93
It stops guessing about your context and starts interviewing you like a decent consultant would.
94
Low is your default, for anything routine.
95
Use it on simple questions and quick edits, and don't waste the ceiling on those.
96
High is where you land for real planning work or anything with strategic stakes.
97
X-High is what you reach for on genuinely complex problems, where you want Claude to think through every angle.
98
Max is for the rare case, where you want the most thorough answer possible and you are willing to wait for it.
99
One thing worth knowing before we move on.
100
On the Mythos tier models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, thinking can't be turned off at all.
101
It's always adaptive on every single response.
102
That's part of what makes them behave less like a chatbot and more like an agent that reasons before it acts,
103
which matters a lot once we get to the Fable 5 section later in this video.
104
All this Claude 5 work pushed me to finally update my LinkedIn.
105
I had a B2B pitch landing Monday.
106
Claude nailed the bio in 10 minutes, but then I scrawled up to my profile photo and froze.
107
Blurry conference selfie from 2023.
108
That kind of shot quietly kills a pitch, no matter how tight the copy is.
109
So for this launch, I finally went and used InstaHeadshots to fix the visual half of the problem.
110
I'm going to show you this live right now.
111
I already uploaded my shots and picked a style and the model trains on your face for under 15 minutes.
112
The best part is generating the pack is completely free.
113
You only pay if you actually like what comes back.
114
The pack just came back.
115
Look at this one right here.
116
That is genuinely me.
117
My wife asked when I snuck off to a photographer.
118
I immediately ran it for the whole team too, and their reaction was exactly the same.
119
And I'm clearly not alone.
120
Over 36 million headshots generated, 421,000 users, 4.9 stars on Google,
121
and a perfect 5 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
122
Teams at Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs, and Harvard, I'll use this.
123
Claude handles the words, but the first thing anyone actually sees is your face.
124
Link is in the description, and there's a discount code right next to it for your first pack.
125
Artifacts are the reason Claude stopped feeling like a text box and started feeling like a workspace.
126
Anytime Claude generates something substantial and self-contained, code, a document, a diagram,
127
a full webpage, it opens in a dedicated panel next to the conversation instead of scrolling past in the chat.
128
Build a simple monthly budget calculator as a single interactive page.
129
Income at the top, expense categories below, a running total, and a bar showing how much is left over.
130
That renders live right there, and I can actually use it, not just read about it.
131
Artifacts aren't limited to code.
132
Turn on code execution and file creation in settings, and Claude can hand you real downloadable files.
133
Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint decks, PDFs built with actual formulas and formatting,
134
not just plain text pasted into a document shape.
135
Every artifact you build lives in the dedicated artifacts tab in your sidebar so it doesn't get buried in chat history.
136
Click share and you get a shareable link.
137
The other person doesn't even need a Claude account to open and use what you build.
138
And paid plans get persistent storage, so a tool you build today still has its data next time you open it.
139
Two apps, one sitting browser tab, no external dependencies, and both shipped in under 10 minutes.
140
That workflow is exactly what we run inside AI Master every day to produce this channel.
141
The entry point is simple.
142
Every top AI model in one window.
143
Instead of paying separate subscriptions to Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, everything runs from one place.
144
And because of how the platform handles tokens, you pay less than going direct on each model separately.
145
But that's just the starting point.
146
AI Master also handles image generation right in the same interface, and it handles audio and video generation too under one shared token economy.
147
If you build content around a character or persona, there's a consistent character system where your character looks identical from generation to generation.
148
You can publish that character directly on the platform and monetize it.
149
You can also share any generation with the community in one click.
150
Speaking of community, AI Master has 12,000 plus users right now.
151
These aren't lurkers.
152
It's an active network of people shipping real projects with this pipeline every day.
153
There's a seven-day money-back guarantee.
154
If it doesn't click with your workflow, you get a full refund.
155
No questions asked.
156
Head to the link in the description right now.
157
If you buy today, the landing page automatically applies a discount.
158
No code needed.
159
It's time sensitive.
160
So the offer is live while you're watching.
161
That's the whole pitch.
162
Back to the models.
163
Claude has two ways to pull in information beyond its training data and using the wrong one wastes your time either way.
164
Web search is for fast, factual, single answer questions.
165
What's the weather?
166
What did a company just announced?
167
Who won last night's game?
168
It runs one or two lookups and comes back in seconds.
169
Research.
170
What used to be called deep research is a completely different animal.
171
It's a gentic.
172
Claude plans a research strategy, runs five or more searches that build on each other,
173
reads across sources, and comes back with a structured, cited report.
174
This takes anywhere from a couple of minutes to significantly longer, depending on how deep the question goes.
175
That table would have eaten an afternoon of tab juggling if I did it manually.
176
The rule I use, web search when I need one fact fast, research when I need a structured answer I can act on
177
and I'm willing to wait a few minutes for it to actually be right.
178
Okay, that is the foundation for you.
179
You've now got registration handled, the interface mapped, your custom instructions written, project setup, memory turned on,
180
adaptive thinking understood, Artifacts Working, and Research on Tap.
181
Those pieces are the shared workspace every model plugs into.
182
Now let's get to the reason you clicked on this video, which is the five models and exactly which one to run on what.
183
Before we dive into any single model, let me show you the shape of the lineup because that's the piece nobody explains clearly.
184
Anthropic ships five models under the CLAWD5 banner right now, and they are stacked in a ladder from cheapest and fastest at the bottom
185
to most capable and most restricted at the top.
186
Haiku 4.5 sits at the bottom.
187
As the cheap, fast workhorse, Sonnet 5 sits in the middle.
188
And this is where the biggest surprise of the generation lives, because Sonnet 5 is beating the current Opus flagship on knowledge work benchmarks.
189
Opus 4.8 sits above Sonnet, still the frontier for a hard multi-file code and Olympiad-level math.
190
Above Opus, there's a brand new tier that didn't exist in the previous generation, called the Mythos class.
191
Fable 5 lives in that tier as the autonomous project model, and Mythos 5 sits at the very top, with access gated behind a program called Project Glasswing.
192
Let's start with Sonnet 5, because this is the model you should be running on most tasks right now.
193
I opened a blank folder and gave it one prompt with no starter code and no template.
194
I wanted to see if it could ship a real language learning app from scratch in a single shot.
195
Build a gamified Spanish learning app as a single HTML file with no external dependencies.
196
The app should feel like a mini Duolingo.
197
Include a home screen with an XP counter, daily streak flame, and a heart system that regenerates over time.
198
Add three playable mini games, a word to image match with four picture tiles, a sentence builder puzzle where the user drags Spanish word tiles into the correct order,
199
and a listen and type game that reads a Spanish word out loud using the browser speech API.
200
Add a spaced repetition cue so missed words come back sooner.
201
Use the Claude API with a pleaseholder key to generate example sentences on demand.
202
Persist all progress to laestertage.
203
Add level up animations with Confetti when the user hits a new XP threshold.
204
Sonnet 5 shipped the file in about 7 minutes and it worked on the first open.
205
The home screen rendered with a glowing streak flame and a bouncing XP bar at the top.
206
I clicked into the word match game and got four image tiles with a Spanish prompt above them.
207
The sentence builder puzzle let me drag tiles into slots with a satisfying snap animation.
208
The listen and type game actually spoke the Spanish word out loud through the browser's speech synthesis.
209
The part that really impressed me was not the visuals.
210
Sonnet 5 wired up a proper spaced repetition queue without being asked to explain the algorithm.
211
Words I missed came back three cars later, and the app queued them again after 10 more turns.
212
The confetti animation on my first level up ran smoothly at 60 frames a second.
213
The hard regeneration timer even persisted across page reloads.
214
It felt like a shipped product, not a first-pass prototype.
215
A year ago, you needed Opus to get that kind of output.
216
Now you get it at Sonnet pricing, which during the intro window runs $2 per million input tokens.
217
That window closes at the end of August 2026, and then it goes to $3 per million.
218
Still a fraction of what Opus costs, and you are getting output that Sonnet had no business producing 12 months ago.
219
Now our second scenario, this time, pure browser.
220
No server, no dependencies whatsoever.
221
I wanted something visual enough that you could hand it to a non-technical person and they would immediately see what it does.
222
So I asked Sonnet Phi to build an interactive knowledge graph.
223
Notes you can drag, edges that spring between them, a physics simulation running entirely on canvas.
224
Build an interactive network graph visualizer as a single HTML file with no external libraries.
225
The user types a topic into a search box and the graph auto-generates related concept nodes around it.
226
Nodes should be draggable with a spring physics simulation on Canvas.
227
Click in a node, expand it into its own cluster.
228
Include a sidebar that lists all nodes in the current graph with a delete button for each.
229
Color code clusters automatically.
230
Everything persists in LeisterPage, so the graph is still there on the next page reload.
231
Ship it as one file, under 300 lines.
232
It came back in about 8 minutes.
233
I typed machine learning into the search box
234
and watched about 14 nodes pop out from the center with physics animated edges snapping into place.
235
I dragged the node across the screen and the connected nodes followed it on springs.
236
I clicked neural networks and it expanded into its own subcluster.
237
The sidebar listed every node with a live delete button.
238
The whole thing runs at 60 frames a second and reloads exactly where you left it.
239
The detail that got me was the physics engine.
240
Sonnet 5 implemented its own spring simulation from scratch in under 40 lines of vanilla JavaScript.
241
No library, no shortcut.
242
It tuned the damping coefficient so nodes settle instead of oscillating forever.
243
I did not specify any of that.
244
It just reasoned that a graph with nodes bouncing indefinitely would feel broken, and it fixed that before I could ask.
245
That is the shift that makes Sonnet 5 a genuine default and not just a cheaper substitute.
246
It is not just producing code, it is reasoning about the whole context of how someone would actually use what it is building,
247
and then filling in the gaps you did not think to specify.
248
There is one caveat that Anthropic buried, and you need to know about it before it bites your automations.
249
Sonnet 5 uses a new tokenizer.
250
The same text you were sending to older Claude models now generates roughly 30% more tokens.
251
Your old max underscore token settings are wrong, your old cost estimates are wrong, and if you have any automations firing against Sonnet 5 today,
252
you need to recalibrate those before the intro pricing window closes in August.
253
Opus 4.8 sits one tier above Sonnet in the lineup.
254
It costs $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output.
255
The tasks where it earns that price are the ones that require holding a large, complex structure in memory all at once.
256
Deep document analysis, long-form knowledge work, anything where every piece has to stay coherent from start to finish.
257
Here is the first task I gave it.
258
I wanted Opus to build an entire online course from scratch.
259
Not just a syllabus, but a complete learning experience with modules, exercises, quizzes, and a difficulty curve that actually makes sense for a beginner.
260
The topic.
261
SQL for product designers who've never touched a database in their life.
262
That is a hard brief because you have to hold the student psychology in your head the whole time, not just the technical facts.
263
Here is the prompt I gave it.
264
You are a curriculum designer.
265
Build a complete beginner SQL course for product designers with zero database experience.
266
Structure it into five modules.
267
Each module needs a clear learning goal, three concept explanations with real product design analogies,
268
two hands-on exercises with sample data, and a five-question quiz.
269
And with a capstone project brief where the student designs a data model for a real app feature.
270
Adjust the difficulty so a complete beginner finishes module one feeling confident, not overwhelmed.
271
Opus held the pedagogical logic across the entire course, and the analogies it chose felt like they were written by someone who actually knew both worlds.
272
That coherence across eight interconnected sections is exactly where Opus earns its price.
273
The second use case is financial document analysis.
274
I took Apple's most recent 10k annual report, uploaded it to Opus and asked for a full investment memorandum.
275
Not a summary, a memo with a real opinion, specific risk flags and numbers pulled from the document.
276
That contradiction catch is the thing that matters.
277
Opus read across two different sections of a 200-page document and noticed that the numbers did not reconcile.
278
It went back, cross-checked, and surfaced the conflict without being asked.
279
That is the deep context gap.
280
When your task requires holding a large, complex document together as a single object and finding the places where it contradicts itself,
281
Opus is the model for that.
282
Opus is not worth it on a bunch of tasks.
283
Skip it on long context summarization and on plain data extraction.
284
Skip it on standard content generation too.
285
Skip it on any code refactor under a thousand lines.
286
Save it for tasks that genuinely require holding a large complex structure in memory all at once
287
and reasoning about how every piece connects to every other piece.
288
Now, if Opus is the escalation model for deep single session work, Fable 5 is a completely different animal.
289
It is not for a task, it is for a project that runs while you sleep.
290
Fable 5 sits in a brand new tier that did not exist in the previous generation.
291
Anthropi calls it the Mythos class, and it lives one full step above Opus.
292
Sonnet and Opus are models you prompt.
293
Fable 5 is a model you brief.
294
Let me show you what this looks like on a smaller, more realistic project.
295
I gave Fable 5 the following brief, kicked it off at 11 at night, and went to sleep.
296
Objective tokens, NAM build a working Chrome extension
297
that summarizes any YouTube video into a five bullet summary and a copyable clipboard block.
298
Constraints, MV3 only, no external servers.
299
Use the Cloud API with a policeholder key.
300
Budget, eight hours of wall time, unlimited tool use.
301
Deliverables, complete extension folder.
302
Read me with install steps.
303
One test video demonstrating the extension working.
304
If you hit an unrecoverable error, log it and continue with the next module.
305
I woke up at 7 the next morning.
306
The extension was in the folder.
307
The readme was written.
308
There was a test recording showing it working on a real YouTube video.
309
There were also three log entries where Fable had hit errors, diagnosed them, and rerouted.
310
It even flagged one design decision it was not sure about and left a note asking me to confirm.
311
The thing that makes Fable 5 different is not raw intelligence, it is durability.
312
It does not fall over when something breaks.
313
It plans around failure.
314
That is the capability jump the Mythos class is pointing at.
315
One flag before you get too excited.
316
The Fable 5 benchmark numbers Anthropic is publishing are from their own system cards and a couple of third-party trackers.
317
everything has been independently reproduced yet.
318
Treat those benchmarks as anthropics numbers, not as ground truth.
319
The Stripe story, on the other hand, is a first-party client quote, and you can trust that one.
320
Pricing on Fable 5 is $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output.
321
That is real money, but the calculation is not cost per token, it is cost per finished project.
322
An 8-hour autonomous Fable run
323
that ships a working artifact is often cheaper than 3 days of your own time driving Opus manually.
324
Fable delegates most of its execution work to Haiku 4.5.
325
I had a folder with 200 product entries in a CSF.
326
Each row needed a unique, channel-appropriate description written from scratch in under 30 words.
327
I gave Claude a single instruction.
328
Process this CSV, spin up as many Haiku sub-agents as you need, and merge the outputs back into a clean file.
329
Here is what happened.
330
Haiku 4.5 is also the model I recommend for high-volume operational work.
331
Think about customer support triage, where you route thousands of tickets an hour.
332
Log summarization on production systems is another obvious fit for it.
333
Email classification on a busy inbox works cleanly too.
334
And content moderation running at real scale is where Haiku really shines.
335
Anywhere you need thousands of calls per hour, Haiku is the answer.
336
And that brings us to the next model, which is honestly the strangest one in the whole lineup.
337
Mythos 5 sits at the top of the ladder, above Fable in the same Mythos tier.
338
But you cannot just log in and use it today.
339
Access runs through a program Anthropic calls Project Glasswing,
340
and right now that means a curated list of research labs and enterprise partners who applied and got selected.
341
What Anthropix says publicly is that Mythos 5 capabilities exceed anything they have ever made generally available.
342
That puts it above Fable 5, which is already a significant step up from Opus.
343
In practice, Mythos can hold longer planning horizons and tackle harder reasoning chains than Fable can sustain.
344
The organizations with access are using Mythos 5 on problems that a human team would take months to solve.
345
We are talking about long horizon scientific research and enterprise workflows that span dozens of interconnected systems over several weeks.
346
They are watching what happens when a much more capable model gets much more autonomy.
347
They want that playing out in monitored environments before it reaches everyone.

Here is my honest read on this.
349
I have not had access to Mythos 5 myself, and most of you watching this have not either.
350
But the line Anthropic drew here is itself a signal.
351
When Glasswing eventually opens up more broadly, the use cases are going to look very different from anything in this video.
352
Before we wrap up, there are three brand new capabilities that landed with this whole generation, and any of the five models we just covered can use them.
353
These live in the workflow layer on top of the models, not inside a single model, so they matter no matter which one you end up running.
354
Let's walk through the three that actually change how the day looks.
355
Catwork is the feature that finally makes Claude feel like a team, not just a chat window.
356
You give it one project, and it runs multiple agent threads in parallel on that same project.
357
Each thread is a full conversation with its own agent, and all of them share the same context underneath.
358
Let me show you what that looked like on a video project I actually ran this morning before recording this.
359
That whole run wrapped up in about 11 minutes while I was still on my first coffee.
360
In the old world, I'd have opened three separate chats and wasted 20 minutes re-explaining the same project context each time.
361
Cowork just holds that context once and lets three agents work off it in parallel.
362
Now let me pick up one artifact from that co-work run and show you the next feature.
363
The thumbnail concepts came back as rough written descriptions, so I dropped one of them into Claude Design to see what the actual visual would look like.
364
Design shifts baked into every Claude 5 model, so you skipped the Figma round trip entirely.
365
So the loop I just ran goes from a rough co-work brief to a real style thumbnail concept without ever leaving Claude.
366
I still hand the final version to my designer for polish.
367
But that concept phase that used to eat half a day now takes about two minutes end to end.
368
The last piece of the workflow layer lives inside Claude Code, and Anthropic calls it dynamic workflows.
369
This is where a bigger model like Sonnet or Opus spawns hundreds of parallel haiku sub-agents on one task.
370
I showed you a small version of this earlier with the 200-row CSV.
371
The same pattern scales all the way up to thousands of files at once.
372
Now that you've seen what each model actually does, the plan question gets simple.
373
You already know which capabilities you need, so let's map them to tiers in about a minute.
374
Free gives you a working clod on the mid-tier model with a rolling 5-hour message window, and it's enough to follow along with most of this video.
375
You don't get clod code and you don't get co-work on Free, and Opus plus Mythos tier access, stay locked behind a paid plan.
376
Pro sits at 20 bucks a month, or 17 if you pay annually, and this is the plan almost everyone watching should be on.
377
It unlocks Clot Code, Cowork, Research, Adaptive Thinking, and the full model lineup including Mythos tier access.
378
Max runs 100 a month for 5 times Pro's usage, or 200 for 20 times.
379
It's the same feature set with a bigger usage bucket, so only jump to max if you're actually hitting pros limits in your daily work.
380
Team and enterprise exist if you need shared projects or centralized billing, and you already know if that's you.
381
Max runs 100 a month for 5 times pros usage, or 200 for 20 times.
382
It's the same feature set with a bigger usage bucket, so only jump to max if you're actually hitting pros limits.
383
Free gets you a work in Claude on the mid-tier model with a rolling 5-hour message window.
384
You don't get Claude code, and you don't get co-work on Free.
385
Opus and Mythos-tier access also stay locked behind a pay plan.
386
That is the full Claudia 5 generation for you.
387
You've got 5 models and one clear decision framework to pick between them.
388
Run Sonnet 5 for everything by default.
389
Eskescalate to Opus when the task gets genuinely hard on you.
390
Reach for Fable when you want to brief an autonomous agent and walk away for hours.
391
Keep hockey running as your executor layer underneath the bigger models.
392
Mythos 5 stays on the horizon for the rest of us until Glasswing opens up.

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
In this lesson, you'll learn to understand and use practical English related to AI tools, specifically focusing on Claude AI. You'll practice following step-by-step explanations, understanding technical terms in context, and imitating the clear, analytical tone of the video. This is great for IELTS speaking practice as it builds your ability to discuss technology and processes fluently.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- Flagship model: The most important or advanced product in a line (e.g., "The new flagship model has better features").
- Context limit: The maximum amount of information a system can hold at once (e.g., "The project exceeded its context limit, so we used retrieval mode").
- Retrieval system: A tool that finds and brings back stored information (e.g., "The retrieval system accesses old reports quickly").
- Hedging: Using cautious language to avoid being direct (e.g., "She used hedging, saying 'maybe' instead of 'yes'").
- SSO (Single Sign-On): A system that lets you access multiple tools with one login (e.g., "Enterprise plans include SSO for security").
Practice Tips for Shadowing
Shadowing (or shadow speech) is a great way to improve your pronunciation and fluency. The video's tone is calm and instructional, with a moderate speed—perfect for beginners. Here's how to practice:
- Pause and repeat short sections: The video uses phrases like "custom pricing, sold through sales" and "rolling five-hour message window." Pause after each, then repeat to mimic the rhythm and stress. This helps with understanding technical terms in natural speech.
- Focus on clarity: The speaker avoids hedging, using direct language. When shadowing, emphasize words like "specific," "never," and "automatically" to match the clear tone. This is useful for learn English with videos as it trains you to speak confidently.
- Imitate the "how-to" structure: The video explains steps (e.g., "sign up at Claude.ai," "click the model selector"). Shadow these sections to practice organizing instructions in English, which is key for shadow speak and real-life communication.
By practicing with this video, you'll not only learn about Claude AI but also build practical English skills for discussing technology and following complex instructions.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verb — a past habit or state that is no longer true | used to be · used to eat |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | was allowed · is called · can't be turned |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | haven't caught · who've never touched · has been |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | video, which is · someone who actually · model, which is |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
