Claude models in Taskade favor finish quality. They produce the most polished result of any family we build with, and they handle follow-up changes especially well.

How to pick within Claude
- Opus 5 when the result is the deliverable. It sets the visual bar and holds a complete workspace in view.
- Sonnet 5 for most real work. It is the balance point of the family, and it revises its own output well.
- Haiku 4.5 for volume. Use it where the request is small and you want the answer immediately.
The known trade-off across this family is long requests. A very long instruction can lose a detail near the end, so split a large build into steps rather than sending one wall of text.
Set it on an agent or a chat
Open the model menu in the builder chat or on an agent. In the builder chat, choose from Custom Engine. In the agent editor, choose from All Models. The choice applies only to that surface. An AI step in an automation offers TSK-Auto and the rungs only.
If you do not want to pin a model, a rung sets a speed-to-depth trade-off and follows the catalog forward as models change.
How Claude performs
We build the same apps on every family and publish what happened. See the Claude build results for the round-by-round record.
