Claude Sonnet 4.6 example: reading an image into JSON
The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

Anthropic publishes this model; we expose it under the id "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6". Its context window is 1,000,000 tokens, roughly 750k English words in one request. A single response can run to 128,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "expensive" band — cheaper than 359 and dearer than 47 of the other paid models in the catalogue.
What you get on top of text in, text out: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; it takes files such as PDFs as input; it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.
Input runs at 870,375 toman per 1M tokens and output at 4,351,875 — output costs 5× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 87,038 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.
The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Kimi K3: Claude Sonnet 4.6 works out roughly 1× more expensive, and its context window is smaller. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.
To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 15 thousand-word requests on Claude Sonnet 4.6, and every 1,000 toman is about 147 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 5,222,250 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,000,000-token window costs 870,375 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.
This id gets confused with "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6:batch", because the underlying model is the same. The difference is the suffix: no suffix (the standard variant) against "batch". On a thousand-word request this variant works out 2× dearer (6,789 against 3,394 toman). On parameters, this one takes max_completion_tokens, top_k.
Anthropic has 31 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Claude 3 Haiku at 566 toman per thousand words and the dearest Claude Opus 4.1 at 33,945. Among the less common parameters it accepts max_completion_tokens, reasoning_effort, top_k, verbosity — all through the standard request body. It does not support seed, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Nova 2 Lite at 1,000,000 tokens.
Where it makes sense: work where the quality of the answer matters more than its cost, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
Sonnet 4.6 is Anthropic's most capable Sonnet-class model yet, with frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work. It excels at iterative development, complex codebase navigation, end-to-end project management with...
