Strengths
Produces clear, well-structured long-form prose and editing with a natural voice, drawing on a 200K-token context for source material.
Strong at synthesizing long documents, comparing trade-offs, and reasoning through multi-step problems within its 200K-token window.
Anthropic tunes Sonnet heavily for coding — generating, refactoring, and explaining code across languages with reliable instruction-following.
Holds roughly 150,000 words in a single request, enough for large codebases, contracts, or report sets without chunking.

Claude Sonnet 4 API — pricing, context window & access
Claude Sonnet 4 is Anthropic's balanced model, tuned to land between speed and frontier intelligence. It carries a 200K-token context window and returns up to 8,192 output tokens per response.
Through YepAPI you call Claude Sonnet 4 on an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with one key — the same key that also reaches GPT-4o, Gemini, the rest of the Claude family, and the SEO, SERP and scraping endpoints.
What is Claude Sonnet 4?
Claude Sonnet 4 is Anthropic's mid-tier model, positioned between the fast, cheap Haiku and the top-end Opus. It's built to be the everyday workhorse of the Claude family: excellent at writing and editing, strong at multi-step analysis, and one of the better coding models at its price. Its defining trait is a 200K-token context window — large enough to load entire codebases, long contracts, or stacks of documents in a single call. Teams pick Sonnet when they want most of Claude's intelligence without paying flagship rates.
Build with Claude Sonnet 4 via YepAPI
YepAPI exposes Claude Sonnet 4 through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/ai/chat endpoint, so you call Anthropic's model using the chat-completions format and the model string claude-sonnet-4 — no Anthropic SDK required. Switching to Claude Haiku, Claude Opus, GPT-4o, or Gemini later is a single string change. Your one key also covers search and scraping endpoints, letting writing tools, code assistants, and data pipelines all run on the same account.
Claude Sonnet 4 API pricing — $4.20 / 1M input, $21.00 / 1M output
Claude Sonnet 4 costs $4.20 per 1M input tokens and $21.00 per 1M output tokens through YepAPI. Because its 200K window lets you send very large prompts, watch input volume on big-document jobs — but the input rate stays modest relative to flagship models. You pay only for tokens consumed, so it's economical to feed Sonnet long source material and let it write or analyze against the full context in one pass.
Claude Sonnet 4 for writing & long-context analysis
Sonnet 4 is a natural fit when the job mixes long inputs with high-quality output. Load a 200K-token window with a codebase, contract set, or research corpus and ask it to refactor, summarize, or compare — it reasons across the whole context without chunking. Its writing quality also makes it strong for drafting, rewriting, and editing where tone and structure matter, which is why many teams default to Sonnet for content and coding alike.
