Use Claude Sonnet 5.5 Online for Fast, Capable Coding and Analysis
Chat with the latest Claude Sonnet model on Lorka AI to complete tasks related to coding, analysis, document work, and much more without a separate Anthropic subscription.
Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku: Which Claude Model You Actually Need
Review what each Anthropic model does best and decide which tool to use for your workflow or even combine each in Lorka’s AI chat.
Sonnet: Everyday coding, analysis, and document work
Select Sonnet if you need workflow balance that is fast enough for back-and-forth work and strong enough for real coding and analysis.
Opus: Complex, essential work
Can take longer to complete tasks but is worth the extra wait when the task is long or genuinely hard. It's useful for a 40-page contract or analysis where one wrong assumption is expensive.
Haiku: Fast, repetitive tasks at a high volume
Built for fast, repetitive work such as classifying hundreds of tickets or summarizing documents at scale.
Fable: Long-horizon technical planning
Designed for long-horizon planning and difficult technical work. It is narrower than Sonnet and not the model to choose by default. Test Fable when even Opus cannot complete the job reliably.

The Best Type of Work to Use Claude Sonnet for
Move beyond one-off answers to code that actually runs and multi-step tasks that finish without constant prompting.
| Capability | What you can use it for |
|---|---|
| Coding | Debug a failing endpoint, write the test that catches it, and refactor across files. Sonnet follows through instead of handing you an isolated snippet. |
| Long document analysis | Review contracts, research papers, and lengthy transcripts. The context window can accommodate substantial source material, so you are not pasting it in fragments. |
| Multi-step tasks | Give Claude Sonnet a goal and constraints. It can plan, execute, validate, and explain what still needs your attention. |
| Everyday speed | Work through code, documents, and analysis interactively. Its response speed makes Sonnet ideal for slightly advanced work when you need speed. |
See How Claude Sonnet Can Improve Your Workflow
The following output is an illustrative example of how you can use the Claude model to complete a coding task.
Review this checkout service, find the bug causing duplicate charges after a payment timeout, implement the safest fix, add regression tests, and explain how to validate it before release.
Root cause The payment provider can complete a charge after the local request times out. The retry path then creates a new payment attempt and a new idempotency key, so the provider treats the retry as another charge. Safest fix Persist one idempotency key for the checkout attempt before contacting the provider. Reuse that key for every retry, and add a database constraint that prevents more than one active payment attempt for the same order.
1// payments/createPayment.ts2export async function createPayment(orderId: string) {3 return db.transaction(async (tx) => {4 const attempt = await tx.paymentAttempt.upsert({5 where: { orderId },6 create: {7 orderId,8 idempotencyKey: `checkout:${orderId}`,9 status: "pending",10 },11 update: {},12 });1314 const charge = await paymentProvider.charge({15 amount: await getOrderTotal(orderId, tx),16 idempotencyKey: attempt.idempotencyKey,17 });1819 return tx.paymentAttempt.update({20 where: { id: attempt.id },21 data: {22 providerChargeId: charge.id,23 status: "completed",24 },25 });26 });27}Regression tests
1it("reuses the payment attempt after a provider timeout", async () => {2 provider.charge3 .mockRejectedValueOnce(new TimeoutError())4 .mockResolvedValueOnce({ id: "charge_123" });56 await expect(createPayment("order_42")).rejects.toThrow(TimeoutError);7 await createPayment("order_42");89 expect(provider.charge).toHaveBeenNthCalledWith(10 1,11 expect.objectContaining({ idempotencyKey: "checkout:order_42" })12 );13 expect(provider.charge).toHaveBeenNthCalledWith(14 2,15 expect.objectContaining({ idempotencyKey: "checkout:order_42" })16 );17});1819it("creates only one attempt during concurrent retries", async () => {20 await Promise.all([21 createPayment("order_42"),22 createPayment("order_42"),23 ]);2425 expect(await db.paymentAttempt.count({26 where: { orderId: "order_42" },27 })).toBe(1);28});Validate before release 1. Run the payment unit and integration tests with successful, rejected, and timed-out provider responses. 2. Confirm retries send the same idempotency key in staging. 3. Trigger concurrent retries and verify that only one payment attempt and provider charge exist. 4. Canary the change and monitor duplicate-charge alerts, payment failures, and reconciliation mismatches.
