Some users are excited about the new model, but others are skeptical.
Claude Sonnet 5 is built to be the most agentic Sonnet model yet. It can make plans, use tools like browsers and terminals, and run autonomously at a level that, just a few months ago, required larger and more expensive models.
However, others have found that the model’s strengths come with some weaknesses.
The cost per task chart is telling me that I should _never_ use Sonnet 5 above medium effort level – Opus always performs better for a given cost.
Conclusion
Claude Sonnet 5 is a powerful tool, but it’s not the best choice for every task. Users should carefully consider their needs before deciding which model to use.
