Anthropic’s Claude AI model can now handle longer prompts

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-12-04 03:15:46

Anthropic is increasing the amount of information that enterprise customers can send to Claude in a single prompt, part of an effort to attract more developers to the company’s popular AI coding models. For Anthropic’s API customers, the company’s Claude Sonnet 4 AI model now has a one million token context window — meaning the AI can handle requests as long as 750,000 words, more than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, or 75,000 lines of code. That’s roughly five times Claude’s previous lim
