Claude vs GPT-4o — when should we pick Claude?

Claude excels at long-context tasks (200K-1M tokens), structured output, instruction following, and safety-critical applications. GPT-4o is stronger at real-time multimodal and image generation. For document analysis, code review, and complex reasoning — Claude wins. We'll tell you honestly which fits your use case.

What is MCP and why does it matter?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is Anthropic's open standard for connecting Claude to external tools, databases, and APIs. It replaces brittle prompt-injection-based tool use with a structured server protocol. We build custom MCP servers that give Claude secure, typed access to your internal systems.

How do you architect for 1M-token context windows?

We use a hybrid approach: RAG for retrieval across massive corpora, plus Claude's native 1M-token window for full-document analysis. The key is intelligent chunking — knowing when to stuff the context and when to retrieve. We route to Haiku for small tasks and Opus for complex reasoning.

How do you optimize Claude API costs?

Three strategies: model routing (Haiku for simple tasks, Sonnet for moderate, Opus for complex), prompt caching (reuse system prompts across requests), and context management (don't send 1M tokens when 10K suffice). Most teams see 50-60% cost reduction with proper routing.

What tool use capabilities does Claude support?

Claude supports function calling (structured JSON outputs that trigger your code), computer use (controlling desktop applications), and MCP servers (standardized tool connections). We implement all three depending on your use case — from simple API calls to full autonomous agent workflows.

How do you implement streaming with Claude?

We use Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time token streaming. Our implementation handles backpressure, connection recovery, and partial response caching. Typical TTFB is under 1 second. We also implement streaming tool use for long-running agent tasks.

Why Claude

Three Capabilities That Set Claude Apart

1M-Token Context Architecture

Process entire codebases, 500-page legal documents, or full conversation histories in a single API call. No chunking hacks, no lost context. Claude's native window handles what other models can't.

MCP Server Development

Model Context Protocol gives Claude typed, secure access to your databases, APIs, and internal tools. We build custom MCP servers that replace brittle prompt injection with structured tool connections.

Model Routing for 60% Cost Savings

Not every query needs Opus. We build intelligent routing — Haiku for simple classification, Sonnet for moderate reasoning, Opus for complex analysis. Same quality, dramatically lower API costs.
