How does Claude compare to GPT-4o for business AI applications?

Both are frontier models. Claude's 200k token context window makes it better suited for tasks involving entire documents, large codebases or long conversation histories. GPT-4o has a larger ecosystem of native integrations and more mature tooling (Assistants API, fine-tuning). In our testing, Claude Sonnet produces more consistent, instruction-adherent outputs in structured extraction tasks. For most production systems, both are viable — we select the model based on task characteristics and token economics.

What can you do with a 200k token context window?

A 200k token context fits approximately 150,000 words — roughly 300–400 pages of text. Practically, this means you can analyse an entire contract, legal brief or technical specification in a single API call. For software, it can hold a medium-sized codebase. For customer support, it can reference an entire product documentation site without retrieval. This eliminates the retrieval step in many RAG use cases where the full document fits in context.

What is the pricing for Anthropic Claude?

Claude is priced per million tokens. Haiku is the fastest and cheapest model — appropriate for high-frequency classification and routing tasks. Sonnet balances cost and capability for most production applications. Opus is the most capable and most expensive — reserved for tasks requiring maximum reasoning depth. Pricing changes frequently; see anthropic.com/pricing for current rates. We can provide cost estimates for your specific use case during a discovery call.

Can Claude handle Arabic and French for Moroccan business applications?

Yes. Claude performs well on Arabic (including Moroccan Darija in many cases), French and code-switching between languages — all common in Moroccan business contexts. We have used Claude for Arabic document extraction, bilingual customer support bots and French-language contract analysis. Performance on Moroccan Arabic varies by task; we validate language performance as part of every project discovery.
