Anthropic announced `Claude Sonnet 5` as a mid-size Sonnet-class model that delivers stronger agentic and coding performance near Opus-tier intelligence while coming at lower price points. According to Anthropic's announcement, Sonnet 5 is the new default on Claude's free and Pro tiers and is available across Max, Team, and Enterprise plans (Anthropic blog). GitHub and AWS also announced availability: GitHub published that Sonnet 5 is generally available in GitHub Copilot (GitHub blog), and AWS published that Sonnet 5 is available on Amazon Bedrock (AWS blog). TechCrunch and other coverage reported introductory pricing at **$2** per million input tokens and **$10** per million output tokens through August, rising to **$3** input and **$15** output per million tokens thereafter (TechCrunch). Gizmodo and other outlets note improved agentic capability alongside reported weaknesses in cybersecurity tasks (Gizmodo; Anthropic system card).
