Description

Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's newest Sonnet-class language model, built to provide advanced reasoning, coding, autonomous tool use, and agentic workflow capabilities at a lower cost than larger foundation models. The model is capable of planning multi-step tasks, interacting with browsers and terminals, using external tools, and completing sophisticated work with minimal human intervention. Compared to Claude Sonnet 4.6, Sonnet 5 delivers substantial improvements across coding, reasoning, knowledge work, and AI agent performance while narrowing the capability gap with Anthropic's Opus family of models. Anthropic also reports improvements in safety, including lower rates of hallucinations, reduced undesirable behaviors, stronger resistance to prompt injection attacks, and better handling of malicious requests. Developers can access Sonnet 5 through the Claude platform and API using competitive introductory pricing, making it easier to deploy production AI applications without significantly increasing costs. The model supports a wide range of agentic workflows by allowing users to adjust effort levels to balance performance, speed, and token usage for different tasks. Anthropic also expanded usage limits across its services to support more demanding workloads generated by increasingly capable AI agents. Claude Sonnet 5 is positioned as a practical model for organizations that need powerful AI automation without the higher operating costs associated with frontier-scale models. By combining improved intelligence, stronger safety, flexible pricing, and enhanced agentic behavior, Claude Sonnet 5 enables developers to build more autonomous and reliable AI systems.

Description

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is a general-purpose AI model from Anthropic built for everyday professional tasks, agentic coding, knowledge work, and fast iteration. It is the second model in the Claude 5.5 family and is intended to complement Claude Opus 5.5 by offering lower-cost performance on more clearly defined workloads. Anthropic reports that Sonnet 5.5 generates output more than 30% faster than Sonnet 5 and usually completes tasks with fewer tokens. Pricing remains $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cache reads priced at $0.20 per million tokens. On Terminal-Bench 4.0, the model scores 70.6%, compared with 10.3% for Sonnet 5, while also posting sizable improvements on FrontierCode, CursorBench, and other coding benchmarks. Its knowledge-work results are also substantially stronger, including a GDPval-AA score of 1844 and an AA-Briefcase score of 1811, both close to Claude Opus 5.5. Anthropic says early testers found the model faster, more collaborative, more concise, and particularly strong at design-oriented work such as polished interfaces and presentation decks. The model supports adjustable effort levels so users can trade off speed and cost against more extended reasoning and checking. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is available through Claude apps, Claude Code, the Claude Platform, and major cloud providers including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
