Anthropic Claude

Pros

Claude's instruction-following on complex, multi-step prompts is consistently more reliable than GPT-4 for structured output tasks+172
The 200K context window on Claude 3 makes processing entire codebases or long documents practical without chunking strategies+158
Claude's code generation quality is exceptional — it writes idiomatic, well-structured code with proper error handling more often than not+143
The model is noticeably less likely to fabricate citations or make confident false claims — safer to use in user-facing summarization features+128
API pricing for Claude Haiku is extremely competitive for high-volume use cases where response quality just needs to be good, not perfect

Cons

The Claude API ecosystem is smaller than OpenAI's — fewer community libraries, fewer tutorials, and less Stack Overflow coverage+152
Rate limits on lower-tier API keys are more restrictive than OpenAI's and can block production features during traffic spikes+134
Model naming changes (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) and versioning have been confusing — it's not always obvious which model to use for a given quality/cost tradeoff+98
The API doesn't support fine-tuning or custom model training which limits use cases where domain-specific behavior is critical+81
