Anthropic API
API access to Claude model family including Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Haiku, and Opus. Excels at coding, analysis, long-context tasks, and safety-critical applications.
DeepSeek API
DeepSeek's API provides access to DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-V3 — frontier models matching GPT-4 performance on benchmarks at dramatically lower per-token costs. Its reasoning model (R1) supports extended chain-of-thought for complex coding and math tasks.
