Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's most agentic Sonnet model yet, built for coding, tool use, reasoning, and long-horizon professional work at lower cost than Opus-class models.
Claude Haiku 4.5 delivers similar levels of coding performance at one-third the cost and more than twice the speed of larger models.
