2121Claude Sonnet 5 offers the best combination of speed and intelligence in the Claude model family. It builds on Claude Sonnet 4.6.

23Claude Sonnet 5 is a drop-in upgrade for Claude Sonnet 4.6, priced at $2/$10 USD per million input/output tokens; see [Pricing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing) for details. There are two breaking API changes for code already running on Claude Sonnet 4.6: manual extended thinking (`thinking: {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N}`) and sampling parameters (`temperature`, `top_p`, `top_k`) set to non-default values are no longer accepted and return a 400 error. Use [adaptive thinking](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/thinking) with the [effort parameter](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/effort) instead. Claude Sonnet 5 supports the same set of features as Claude Sonnet 4.6, including the [1M token context window](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/context-windows), [adaptive thinking](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/thinking), [prompt caching](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-caching), [batch processing](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/batch-processing), the [Files API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/files), [PDF support](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/pdf-support), [vision](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/vision), and the full set of server-side and client-side [tools](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/overview). On the Claude API, Claude Sonnet 5 also supports [computer use](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool) as the stable `computer_toolset_20260801` toolset and the [browser use tool](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/browser-use-tool) for tasks inside webpages, neither of which Claude Sonnet 4.6 supports; existing integrations on the earlier `computer_20251124` version continue to work unchanged on both models. To upgrade an existing integration, see [Migrate from `computer_20251124`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#migrate-from-computer-20251124). [Priority Tier](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/service-tiers#supported-models) is not available on Claude Sonnet 5. Claude Sonnet 5 also uses a new tokenizer.
