Claude Sonnet 5.5
Anthropic · Sorti sept. 2026
Conditional. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's default Sonnet model on the Anthropic API, on the same rate card as Sonnet 5, and Anthropic says it runs faster and costs less per task. Every benchmark is Anthropic's own, and five breaking changes hit code written for Sonnet 5. Right for teams ready to re-test agentic coding and knowledge work; hold off if you rely on forced tool choice or temperature control.
Est-ce fait pour vous ?
Recommandé pour
- Agentic coding and command-line work; Anthropic reports 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, unreproduced by us
- Large-context work: 1M-token context and 128K output, 300K output on the Batches API with a beta header
- Cost control at scale: $2 input and $10 output per 1M tokens, batch at half price and cache reads at $0.20
- Multi-cloud deployment: the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry and Claude Platform on AWS
- Claude Code users: Sonnet 5.5 (claude-sonnet-5-5) was added in Claude Code 2.1.284 on Sep 28, 2026
Déconseillé pour
- Code that forces tool use: forced tool use returns an error
- Apps that set temperature, top_p or top_k: non-default values return a 400 error
- Interfaces that stream text between tool calls without setting a display value or between_tools: they go quiet
- Higher-risk cybersecurity tasks, which Anthropic says visibly fall back to Sonnet 5
- Anything beyond text and image input with text output
