What is Claude Sonnet 5.5?

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic’s faster, lower-cost Claude 5.5 model for well-scoped professional work, software development, agentic workflows, and content creation. Anthropic positions it below Claude Opus 5.5 for the most complex open-ended work, but says it can perform comparably on some benchmarks when run at higher effort settings. The model delivers a particularly large improvement in coding, including a 70.6% result on Terminal-Bench 4.0, 46.2% on FrontierCode at Max effort, and 55.5% on CursorBench 4.0. It also scores 1844 on GDPval-AA, 1811 on AA-Briefcase, 64.5% on Humanity’s Last Exam with tools, and 80.1% on OSWorld 2.1 partial. Anthropic reports that Sonnet 5.5 is better at long-horizon work, image understanding, collaboration, and codebase comprehension than Sonnet 5. The company also highlights design-oriented improvements, including the ability to produce polished documents, spreadsheets, slides, and user interfaces with less editing. Sonnet 5.5 generates output more than 30% faster than its predecessor and is Anthropic’s fastest Sonnet model to date. Although its listed token prices are unchanged from Sonnet 5, Anthropic says greater token efficiency can reduce per-task cost by up to 30%. Pricing is $2 per million input tokens, $10 per million output tokens, $2.50 per million cache-write tokens, and $0.20 per million cache-read tokens. The model includes cyber safeguards, biology safeguards, reasoning-extraction protections, and preserved-thinking controls, with some higher-risk cyber requests falling back to Sonnet 5. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is available with zero data retention across Claude products, the Claude Platform, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure under the model name claude-sonnet-5-5.

What is Claude Sonnet 5?

Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's latest AI model engineered to deliver highly capable agentic performance for developers, enterprises, and organizations building next-generation AI applications. The model expands the capabilities of the Sonnet family by enabling autonomous planning, browser interaction, terminal usage, tool calling, coding assistance, and complex reasoning while remaining significantly more affordable than larger AI models. Anthropic designed Sonnet 5 to close much of the performance gap between previous Sonnet releases and the company's Opus models, offering major improvements in coding, knowledge work, reasoning, and long-running autonomous tasks. The model demonstrates stronger performance across numerous benchmark evaluations while also improving safety through lower hallucination rates, reduced sycophancy, improved refusal of malicious requests, and greater resilience against prompt injection attacks. Anthropic notes that Sonnet 5 also has substantially lower cybersecurity capabilities than its most advanced Opus models, reducing certain categories of misuse risk while still supporting legitimate development work. Developers can access Sonnet 5 through every Claude subscription tier, Claude Code, and the Claude API using introductory token pricing before standard pricing takes effect. The API allows organizations to integrate Sonnet 5 into production software while selecting different effort levels to optimize cost, latency, and capability for individual workloads. Anthropic also increased platform rate limits to support the higher token usage associated with advanced agentic workflows. Safety safeguards for cybersecurity-related requests are enabled by default, reflecting the model's improved autonomous capabilities while maintaining appropriate protections.
