Introducing Claude Sonnet 5.5, the second model in the Claude 5.5 family. It’s a clear upgrade over Claude Sonnet 5, runs 30%+ faster, and costs up to 30% less for most work. Sonnet 5.5 is a faster, lower-cost complement to Claude Opus 5.5. Where Opus 5.5 is built for complex work requiring careful judgment, Sonnet 5.5 is strongest at well-scoped everyday tasks, fixing bugs, and creating polished documents, slides, and spreadsheets. It’s also got a sharp eye for design. Claude Haiku 5.5, built for high-volume and cost-sensitive applications, will join the Claude 5.5 family in the coming weeks.
Community take
Sonnet 5.5 matches Opus 5.5 on agentic coding benchmarks but Anthropic's cyber safeguards block authorized security work.
