Real-World Example: Search the Web with Claude in 2025
真实案例：在 2025 年使用 Claude 搜索网络

Sonnet is an easy one, but to show 'web access' true capabilities, I would like to ask a more modest model, Claude Opus. Any Anthropic Claude model becomes even more powerful with internet access. Let's ask ChatLabs, "What is Claude Opus?" As you can see in the screenshot below, Claude Opus can search the web and give a clear answer, showing its advanced abilities.
Sonnet 比较简单，但为了展示“网络访问”的真正能力，我想向一个更适中的模型 Claude Opus 提问。任何 Anthropic Claude 模型通过互联网访问都会变得更加强大。让我们向 ChatLabs 提问，“什么是 Claude Opus？” 正如你在下面的截图中看到的，Claude Opus 可以搜索网络并给出清晰的答案，展示了其先进的能力。

But why not to simply use ChatGPT? Can ChatGPT access internet? Yes, it can. But Claude 3.5 Sonnet works better for some tasks, including reasoning, general knowledge, coding, multilingual math and more. That is precisely why you may want to choose it over other models. In my experience, when using Claude even against some of the very recent models like DeepSeek R1, Claude prooves to be more efficient and give better answers to my queries and prompts.
但是为什么不直接使用 ChatGPT 呢？ChatGPT 能访问互联网吗？是的，可以。但是 Claude 3.5 Sonnet 在某些任务上表现更好，包括推理、常识、编码、多语言数学等等。这正是你可能想要选择它而不是其他模型的原因。根据我的经验，即使与 DeepSeek R1 等一些最新的模型相比，Claude 也证明效率更高，并能更好地回答我的查询和提示。

I would also like to mention that Claude API also does not make searching the web easy by default, it is probably only possible if you can build your UI and connect all the web searching possibilities.
我还要提到，Claude API 默认情况下也不容易进行网络搜索，可能只有在你能够构建你的 UI 并连接所有网络搜索功能的情况下才有可能。

For most daily users, Claude 3.5 Sonnet or Claude 3 Opus will be sufficient when it comes to most of daily and work tasks. And using it with web search will provide much more use to it.
对于大多数日常用户而言，Claude 3.5 Sonnet 或 Claude 3 Opus 足以应付大部分日常工作任务。结合网络搜索使用，其效用将大大提升。
