Episode 5: Tiers & Reasoning
from My Claude Journey Hosted by Shachaf Aviv
How do you choose the right model tier for a complex job? In this episode, we compare Claude's model family—from lightweight Haiku to Sonnet, Opus, and Fable. We explore adaptive thinking, showing how forcing the model to write out its internal step-by-step reasoning catches multi-step traps and logic errors. Discover how to adjust effort levels (from Low to Max) in both the app and Claude Code to strike the perfect balance between reasoning depth, speed, and token usage.
