Comparison summary

How to choose first

This is a cross-provider comparison. Start with the job boundary, then verify what your key can actually see.

On the listed price snapshot, Claude Sonnet 4.6 is cheaper on combined input and output, but real routing, discounts, and limits still matter.

Claude Sonnet 4.6 has the larger context window, which helps with long documents, knowledge bases, logs, and multi-turn workflows.

Decision boundary

Do not start with which model is absolutely stronger. Start with the boundary: cost, context, speed, quality, ecosystem, or supply stability.

  • o3 is worth checking first when the o-series family, 200K context, and text+image->text capability match the job.
  • Claude Sonnet 4.6 is worth checking first when the Claude family, 1M context, and text+image->text capability match the job.

Key checking route

If you already hold a key, the valuable check is provider identity, callable models, and whether balance, limits, or subscription status are visible.

  • OpenAI: o3, o-series, text+image->text
  • Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude, text+image->text
