In short, the card turns abstract assurances of \u201chelpfulness, honesty and harmlessness\u201d into concrete, auditable claims that can be tested in the real world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"a2a_button_bluesky\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/bluesky?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgradientflow.com%2Fclaude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4-cheat-sheet%2F&amp;linkname=Claude%20Opus%204%20and%20Claude%20Sonnet%204%3A%20Cheat%20Sheet\" title=\"Bluesky\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgradientflow.com%2Fclaude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4-cheat-sheet%2F&amp;linkname=Claude%20Opus%204%20and%20Claude%20Sonnet%204%3A%20Cheat%20Sheet\" title=\"LinkedIn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgradientflow.com%2Fclaude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4-cheat-sheet%2F&amp;linkname=Claude%20Opus%204%20and%20Claude%20Sonnet%204%3A%20Cheat%20Sheet\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_reddit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgradientflow.com%2Fclaude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4-cheat-sheet%2F&amp;linkname=Claude%20Opus%204%20and%20Claude%20Sonnet%204%3A%20Cheat%20Sheet\" title=\"Reddit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_email\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgradientflow.com%2Fclaude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4-cheat-sheet%2F&amp;linkname=Claude%20Opus%204%20and%20Claude%20Sonnet%204%3A%20Cheat%20Sheet\" title=\"Email\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_mastodon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/mastodon?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgradientflow.com%2Fclaude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4-cheat-sheet%2F&amp;linkname=Claude%20Opus%204%20and%20Claude%20Sonnet%204%3A%20Cheat%20Sheet\" title=\"Mastodon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_copy_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/copy_link?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgradientflow.com%2Fclaude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4-cheat-sheet%2F&amp;linkname=Claude%20Opus%204%20and%20Claude%20Sonnet%204%3A%20Cheat%20Sheet\" title=\"Copy Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/gradientflow.com\/claude-opus-4-and-claude-sonnet-4-cheat-sheet\/\">Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4: Cheat Sheet<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/gradientflow.com\/\">Gradient Flow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4 are Anthropic\u2019s latest hybrid-reasoning language models.
