Anthropic launches Claude Sonnet 5.5
Anthropic’s second Claude 5.5 model is a clear upgrade over Sonnet 5: it runs over 30% faster and typically costs up to 30% less per task, while scoring near Opus 5.5 on everyday knowledge work and coding. It is available on Anthropic’s platform plus AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
What it means for manufacturers and fabricators
A faster, cheaper mid-tier model is a practical fit for quoting, document work and shop-floor helpers that need to run all day without flagship prices.
