Claude Sonnet 4 Extended Thinking

Model family: Claude
Extended Thinking takes the dependable Sonnet 4 model and gives it a larger reasoning budget. Instead of replying as soon as it finds a plausible path, it decomposes the problem, checks intermediate steps, and revises its plan before producing a final answer. The result is steadier performance on multi-step analysis, trickier proofs and derivations, repository-scale coding tasks, and long-form planning, with calmer error rates and more consistent logic. You keep the familiar Sonnet 4 interface—streaming, function calls, and schema-true JSON—so it drops straight into agent pipelines and retrieval-augmented apps. It also handles text and images in the same conversation, grounding explanations in charts, documents, and screenshots when needed. The trade-off is latency and token usage: Extended Thinking is slower and chattier under the hood, which is why teams often route routine queries to standard Sonnet and reserve this mode for moments when correctness matters most.

Overview

Claude Sonnet 4 (Extended Thinking) is the long-deliberation mode of Sonnet 4. It spends extra tokens “thinking” before answering, boosting accuracy on hard reasoning, math, and coding while keeping the same strengths—long context, tool/function calling, JSON outputs, and multimodal text-plus-image understanding.
