Claude Sonnet 5.5
Claude Sonnet 5.5 is the second released Claude 5.5 tier, focused on faster everyday agent work, bug fixes, visual design, and polished documents. It improves over Sonnet 5 while reducing typical token consumption. A million-token context and adaptive thinking support sustained tasks. The release changes thinking configuration, forced tool use, and computer-tool compatibility, so integrations need model-specific migration checks.
