Anthropic on Vibe Coding

Claude Code

Claude Code runs in your terminal and works like a senior engineer with full access to your codebase: it can search files, run shell commands, edit code across multiple files, run tests, and commit changes — all while narrating what it’s doing.

Claude Opus 5

Claude Opus 5 is Anthropic’s top-tier model, tuned specifically for agentic coding — multi-file features, large refactors, and end-to-end implementation work rather than single-shot completions. Give it a full task specification up front and it tends to run the whole way to a finished result instead of leaving stubs behind.

Claude Sonnet 5 closes most of the gap to Opus-tier quality on coding and agentic tasks while staying meaningfully cheaper — a solid default for the coding work that makes up most of a normal week, not just the hardest 20%.
