Claude Sonnet 4.5 is the best coding model in the world. It's the strongest model for building complex agents. It’s the best model at using computers. And it shows substantial gains in reasoning and math.Code is everywhere. It runs every application, spreadsheet, and software tool you use. Being able to use those tools and reason through hard problems is how modern work gets done.Claude Sonnet 4.5 makes this possible. We're releasing it along with a set of major upgrades to our products. In Claude Code, we've added checkpoints—one of our most requested features—that save your progress and allow you to roll back instantly to a previous state. We've refreshed the terminal interface and shipped a native VS Code extension. We've added a new context editing feature and memory tool to the Claude API that lets agents run even longer and handle even greater complexity. In the Claude apps, we've brought code execution and file creation (spreadsheets, slides, and documents) directly into the conversation. And we've made the Claude for Chrome extension available to Max users who joined the waitlist last month.We're also giving developers the building blocks we use ourselves to make Claude Code. We're calling this the Claude Agent SDK. The infrastructure that powers our frontier products—and allows them to reach their full potential—is now yours to build with.This is the most aligned frontier model we’ve ever released, showing large improvements across several areas of alignment compared to previous Claude models.Claude Sonnet 4.5 is available everywhere today. If you’re a developer, simply use claude-sonnet-4-5 via the Claude API. Pricing remains the same as Claude Sonnet 4, at $3/$15 per million tokens.Frontier intelligenceClaude Sonnet 4.5 is state-of-the-art on the SWE-bench Verified evaluation, which measures real-world software coding abilities. Practically speaking, we’ve observed it maintaining focus for more than 30 hours on complex, multi-step tasks.Claude Sonnet 4.5
