Anthropic just shipped Claude Sonnet 5. They call it its most agentic Sonnet model yet. It plans, drives browsers and terminals, and runs autonomously across long tasks.

Sonnet 5 is the default model for Free and Pro plans today. Max, Team, and Enterprise users can select it. It is also live in Claude Code and on the Claude Platform.

TL;DR

Sonnet 5 is Anthropic’s most agentic mid-tier model, closing much of the gap to Opus 4.8.

Beats Sonnet 4.6 on every published benchmark: 63.2% SWE-bench Pro, 81.2% OSWorld-Verified, 57.4% HLE.
