Claude is the AI assistant from Anthropic, a US company founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers; Claude has been publicly available since March 2023. Anthropic trains Claude with an approach called Constitutional AI, based on a fixed set of principles, and designs the models for long inputs, careful wording and programming tasks.

Claude compared with the other models on ChatX

Pick Claude when you need well-structured long texts, precise wording or reliable code; Claude has been considered especially strong here for years and handles very long inputs. ChatGPT is the broader all-rounder with more extra features, Gemini and DeepSeek use fewer tokens, and Grok is quick on logic tasks, while Claude doesn't create images, offers web search only on some models and uses more tokens per answer with Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Fable 5.1. On ChatX you can switch between Claude and the other models in the same chat at any time and simply ask the same question again.

What makes Claude different

Anthropic built Claude around safety and reliability from the start. The model is trained with a fixed set of rules that Anthropic calls “Constitutional AI”: instead of having people rate every single answer, Claude learns to measure its answers against these principles. In practice you notice this in a calm, careful style and in the way Claude asks when a task is unclear instead of guessing.

Its second strength is long texts. Claude works through entire contracts, studies or book chapters in one go, keeps track of the context and writes remarkably natural English. Then there is code: since the Claude 4 generation, Claude has been one of the most widely used models for programming work, and on ChatX you choose Sonnet 5 or Opus 5.5 for it.

There are two things Claude doesn't do: it doesn't create images, so for that ChatX has the AI image generator with other models. And it only searches the web on models with the globe icon. For quick everyday questions, Haiku 4.5 is enough, and it runs without signing up.

Costs and free allowance

  • Without signing up, you get 15,000 tokens to try it out. That's enough for around 16 answers with Claude Haiku 4.5.
  • With a free account, you get 15,000 tokens as a gift every day.
  • If you need more, you can buy tokens with no subscription or choose a monthly plan. Billing is based on the model's actual usage.

Privacy: what happens to my input?

Your message goes from ChatX straight to the official API of US company Anthropic, and the answer comes back the same way. You don't need an Anthropic account for this; you use Claude anonymously or with your ChatX account. According to Anthropic's terms (as of November 2026), Anthropic may not train models on content from its API; inputs and outputs are normally deleted within 30 days and stored in the US.

ChatX stores your chats only in your own account. You can delete them one by one or all at once at any time. How Anthropic processes the requests it receives is governed by its terms; you'll find the details in the privacy policy.

Anthropic puts particular weight on safety rules and publishes its principles for Claude openly. Still, as with any AI service: don't enter passwords, health data or other sensitive information you wouldn't want sent to a service in the US.

Everything runs through Anthropic's official API, with an English interface and billing per reply instead of a monthly subscription. You do not need an account with the provider.

Frequently asked questions

Which Claude model fits which task?

For everyday use, Claude Haiku 4.5 is enough, and it runs without signing up. With a free account you choose Claude Sonnet 5 for precise writing and code, Claude Opus 5.5 for deep analysis and Claude Fable 5.1 as the most powerful model; Opus and Fable offer thinking mode.

What do the names Haiku, Sonnet, Opus and Fable mean?

Since Claude 3 in 2024, Anthropic has named its model tiers after forms of poetry: Haiku is small and fast, Sonnet is the mid-range and Opus the large line. Fable joined in 2026 as the top model.

Can Claude create images?

No. Claude doesn't generate images itself, but with an account it understands uploaded photos, screenshots and PDF files. You create images on ChatX with the AI image generator, which uses other models, even without signing up.

Can Claude search the internet?

For the Claude models with web search (globe icon in the input field), you turn on search in the chat and get current sources in the answer. Without web search, Claude answers from its training knowledge, which has a cutoff date.

What does thinking mode do for Claude?

In thinking mode, Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Fable 5.1 work through the problem step by step before answering. That helps with analysis, math and code, takes longer and uses more tokens. Thinking mode is available with a free account.

Does Claude speak English and other languages?

Yes. Claude writes excellent English, handles many other languages at a high level and answers in the language you write in. The ChatX interface is available in English too.

How long can documents be?

Uploading documents requires a free account. Without credit there is a character limit per message (currently 10,000 characters with an account); with credit or a subscription there is no plan limit, and technically up to 200,000 characters per message with an attachment are possible. Large models cost more tokens per answer than Haiku.

How is this different from claude.ai?

claude.ai is Anthropic's own app with an account and a monthly subscription. On ChatX you use the same Claude models through the official API, start without signing up, pay only for actual usage per answer and have models from other providers in the same chat.

The history of Claude

From a research model kept under wraps in 2022, through the public launch in 2023, to the model family with Haiku, Sonnet, Opus and Fable: how Anthropic's safety project became one of the most important AI assistants.

    Constitutional AI: principles instead of human ratings alone

    Anthropic publishes the method that still shapes Claude today: the model evaluates and improves its answers against a fixed set of rules (a kind of constitution) and learns from AI feedback rather than only from human ratings. Anthropic makes the principles themselves public in May 2023.
