Claude Cheat Sheet: Features, Access, Pricing, Models

Anthropic's Claude has transformed from a standalone chatbot into a comprehensive AI suite spanning chat, writing, coding, and analysis across multiple platforms. The February 2026 launch of Claude 4.6 models introduces Opus 4.6 as the flagship for superior coding and massive codebase handling, while Sonnet 4.6 becomes the new default for free and Pro users, excelling in computer use and knowledge work. The platform now includes multimodal analysis of images and PDFs, context windows supporting up to 100 files, and beta computer use capabilities for UI-driven tasks. Claude's constitutional AI approach emphasizes safety and reliability with strong refusal behaviors, and the service maintains certifications including SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Technical deployments span claude.ai, mobile apps with voice features, IDE integrations (VS Code, Cursor), and cloud platforms like Amazon Bedrock and Google Vertex AI. Pricing tiers range from free (with message caps) to Pro at $20/user/month, Team at $30/user/month with minimum seats, and custom Enterprise plans offering customer-managed encryption keys and audit logs. API access follows metered pricing from $3-$15 per million input tokens. The platform's evolution includes key 2025 features like Artifacts for rendering live outputs and ongoing expansion of computer use capabilities, positioning Claude as a versatile tool for both individual professionals and enterprise deployments requiring security controls and isolation options.
