Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5 before OpenAI's Developer Conference, half the price of Opus and even passed Pokémon
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet5.5 before OpenAI's annual developer conference, positioning it as a versatile assistant for daily work. It breaks the 'impossible triangle' of speed, cost, and quality: it is 30% faster than Sonnet5, with up to a 30% reduction in cost per task, priced at half that of Opus5.5, with performance almost matching, and outperforming its high-end models in several tests such as Terminal-Bench4.0; the article also uses games as an example to illustrate that its intelligence is sufficient.
