Claude Haiku and Opus outperform Sonnet in Shopify catalog search test

A recent test evaluated the performance of Anthropic's Claude models, specifically Sonnet, Haiku, and Opus, in selecting products from Shopify's catalog. Claude Sonnet failed to identify the top-ranked product in any of its six search attempts. In contrast, Haiku successfully selected the product 8% of the time, while Opus achieved a 20% success rate. The test indicated that product review counts were more influential in model selection than initial catalog ranking. AI
