Anthropic says Sonnet 5 outperforms its predecessor, Sonnet 4.6, across reasoning, coding, and knowledge-work benchmarks, and approaches the performance of Opus 4.8 at a substantially lower price. Introductory pricing runs $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens through August 31, after which rates step up to $3 and $15 respectively. The model is available across all Claude plans — Free through Enterprise — and via the API under the id claude-sonnet-5.\n\nThe price gap between Sonnet 5 and Opus 4.8 matters because the AI market has a cost problem: token pricing at the frontier has become a genuine barrier for developers and enterprises scaling agentic workloads. A mid-tier model that punches close to flagship weight changes the calculus for teams who have been forced to choose between capability and budget. On safety, Anthropic reports lower hallucination and sycophancy rates than Sonnet 4.6 and improved resistance to prompt-injection attacks, with cyber safeguards enabled by default — though the company offered no specific benchmark figures to back the hallucination claim.\n\nNotably, Anthropic's announcement skipped two things reporters will notice: hard data on those safety improvements, and any mention of energy consumption — an omission that is harder to overlook as each new model generation demands more compute.","[\"ai\",\"anthropic\",\"large-language-models\",\"pricing\"]","2026-06-30T19:39:08.000Z","2026-06-30T19:59:05.863Z","2026-06-30T19:59:08.827Z","published",null,[],"ai",[24,26,27,28],"anthropic","large-language-models","pricing",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"Mashable","https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Ftech\u002Fanthropic-releases-claude-sonnet-5",0,{"sections":35},[36,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,89,94,99],{"name":37,"slug":24,"count":38,"latest_published_at":39},"AI",2590,"2026-07-16T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":41,"slug":42,"count":43,"latest_published_at":44},"Security","security",294,"2026-07-15T19:59:48.000Z",{"name":46,"slug":47,"count":48,"latest_published_at":49},"Deals","deals",179,"2026-06-29T20:02:07.000Z",{"name":51,"slug":52,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Policy","policy",158,"2026-07-16T00:02:48.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",122,"2026-07-14T19:46:26.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",93,"2026-07-13T13:20:48.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Software","software",70,"2026-07-13T19:52:25.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Science","science",66,"2026-07-10T10:29:37.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",59,"2026-07-07T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Gaming","gaming",41,"2026-07-09T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":83,"latest_published_at":88},"Startups","startups","2026-06-29T20:55:50.000Z",{"name":90,"slug":91,"count":92,"latest_published_at":93},"General","general",29,"2026-07-10T22:28:58.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Reviews","reviews",20,"2026-06-24T12:00:01.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
