Claude

Defines Claude Mythos as a newly surfaced model centered on elevated cybersecurity danger. Frames its behavior as crossing into a more severe security-risk category than prior systems. Shifts the focus from broad capability progress toward explicitly cyber-relevant threat potential. Signals a more risk-heavy positioning than a standard frontier-model advancement narrative. Sits alongside wider market speculation that the next major Claude release cycle is approaching. 0 0

Claude Sonnet 5 Release and access: ships as claude-sonnet-5-20260203, available via Anthropic API, Claude Pro, and Google Vertex AI. Coding benchmark jump: posts 82.1% SWE-Bench Verified, positioned above Claude Opus 4.5 at 80.9%. Pricing reset: priced at $3 per 1M input tokens and $15 per 1M output tokens, framed as a major cost drop vs Opus 4.5. Massive context: 1,000,000-token context window for repository-level understanding, whole-codebase prompts, and large refactors without chunking. Agentic engineering stack: built for multi-step workflows with built-in code execution and self-correction, plus a “Dev Team” mode that spawns parallel sub-agents for implementation, testing, and review. 2 0

Claude Sonnet 4.6 Better coding performance, especially on harder bug-finding and long-horizon codebase work. More reliable computer use, with fewer tool errors and better recovery when actions fail. Stronger long-context reasoning, with an optional very large context mode available in beta. Higher efficiency on real workloads, meaning it can achieve similar results with less back and forth and less wasted output. Better “knowledge work” quality, with improved document understanding, structured writing, and cleaner design taste for UI and reports. Claude Opus 4.6 Better financial reasoning (+5.47% on Finance Agent, SOTA on TaxEval) Improved information extraction (BrowseComp, DeepSearchQA) Gains on SWE-bench and agentic benchmarks 128K max output tokens (was 64K) Adaptive thinking replaces budget_tokens (deprecated) New "max" effort level; effort parameter now GA Server-side context compaction (infinite conversations) Data residency controls (inference_geo) Prefilling assistant messages removed Better prompt injection resistance Stronger alignment on sensitive tasks Better first-pass quality for spreadsheets, presentations, financial models Claude in Excel handles longer, more complex tasks 24 0

Claude Sonnet 4.5 Stronger reasoning & math: fewer slips on multi-step problems. Better coding: clearer fixes, tighter adherence to specs. More reliable tool/JSON calls: fewer schema errors, cleaner arguments. Improved vision: nicer OCR and chart/screenshot understanding. Holds long context better: steadier multi-doc coherence. Lower, steadier latency: snappier responses under load. Calmer alignment: fewer overcautious refusals; safer wording. 31 8

Delivers significantly stronger performance in coding, advanced reasoning, and agentic (autonomous) tasks. Demonstrates a 65% reduction in shortcut-taking and loophole exploitation. Opus 4 is positioned as the world’s best coding model, excelling on benchmarks like SWE-bench and Terminal-bench. Sonnet 4 achieves higher accuracy and precision in complex, multi-file codebase tasks. Introduces persistent memory: with permission, can extract, summarize, and retain information across sessions, enabling continuity and domain expertise over long-term projects. Features enhanced tool use, including web search and parallel tool execution. Supports deeper, multi-step reasoning for complex tasks. Maintains or improves multimodal capabilities (text and images) and supports a large context window for handling extensive information. Offers new API capabilities, including a code execution tool, MCP connector, Files API, and prompt caching for more powerful agent workflows. Claude Code is now generally available and integrated with developer tools like GitHub Actions, VS Code, and JetBrains, supporting background tasks and direct file edits. Pricing remains competitive: Opus 4 at $15/$75 per million tokens (input/output), Sonnet 4 at $3/$15 per million tokens. Sonnet 4 is available to free users; both Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 are included in Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Provides more precise, reliable, and steerable outputs, with improved adherence to detailed instructions. 27 1
