Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 5.5
anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5
Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's Sonnet-class model for well-scoped everyday work, succeeding Claude Sonnet 5 as a direct upgrade. It is especially strong at building features, fixing bugs, and producing polished documents, slides, and spreadsheets, and it writes and communicates more clearly than its predecessor. Thinking is always on, so effort is the main lever for trading off depth, latency, and cost, and lower effort settings keep it responsive for everyday agentic loops.
