Anthropic's first model with hybrid 'extended thinking' — it could reason step-by-step for up to 128K tokens before answering, scoring state-of-the-art on SWE-Bench coding benchmarks at launch. Deprecated just 15 months after release as the Claude 4 family made extended thinking standard across the entire lineup.
