Claude Sonnet 5

claude-sonnet-5

Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's most capable Sonnet-class model, delivering frontier-level performance across coding, agentic workflows, and professional knowledge tasks. It supports text, image, and file inputs, features a 1M-token context window, and offers adaptive thinking with configurable reasoning levels (low, medium, high, max, and x-high) to balance speed, cost, and reasoning depth. Optimized for complex coding, long-horizon agent execution, and professional workflows, Sonnet 5 combines strong reasoning, robust instruction following, and enhanced safety features, including an updated tokenizer and real-time cyber safeguards for high-risk dual-use scenarios.

Output: $10.00/M

Claude Opus 5.5

Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's flagship model for advanced reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agentic workflows, succeeding Opus 5. It excels at multi-step changes across large codebases, code review and bug detection, financial and scientific analysis, and understanding dense charts, diagrams, and screenshots, with stronger grounding when reporting figures and citing sources. Compared with Opus 5, it completes comparable tasks with fewer steps and lower token usage while providing clearer, more concise progress reporting. With adaptive thinking and configurable effort levels, Opus 5.5 can balance reasoning depth, latency, and cost, making it well suited for both demanding autonomous workflows and latency-sensitive professional tasks.

Context: 1M
Input: $4.00/M
Output: $20.00/M

Claude Opus 4.6 (Thinking)

Opus 4.6 is Anthropic's most capable model for coding and long-running professional workflows, designed for agents that operate across entire workflows rather than single prompts. It demonstrates strong performance on large codebases, complex refactoring, and multi-step debugging, with improved contextual understanding, deeper problem decomposition, and higher reliability on challenging engineering tasks compared to earlier generations. Beyond software development, Opus 4.6 excels at sustained knowledge work, producing near production-ready documents, technical plans, and analyses in a single pass while maintaining coherence across long outputs and extended sessions. Its strength in persistence, judgment, and structured execution makes it well suited for technical design, migration planning, and end-to-end project execution.

Claude Opus 4.5

Claude Opus 4.5 is Anthropic's frontier reasoning model, built for complex engineering, agent workflows, and long computer-use tasks. It offers strong multimodal skills, better security against prompt injection, and flexible effort controls — including a Verbosity setting to trade speed vs. depth and token use. With advanced tool use, long-context handling, and support for coordinated multi-agent setups, it excels at research, debugging, multi-step planning, and UI/spreadsheet automation while improving reliability, alignment, and efficiency over earlier Opus versions.
