What Is It ?
Free Gemini Upgrade
Claude Sonnet 4.5 is Anthropic's newest flagship AI model, specifically engineered for unparalleled performance in coding, building complex agents, and advanced computer interaction. It demonstrates substantial gains in reasoning and mathematics, setting new industry benchmarks. The model is designed to operate autonomously, maintaining focus and clarity over long durations, effectively transforming how complex tasks are approached.
How It Works ?
Autonomous Coding
Sonnet 4.5 can code autonomously for over 30 hours straight, handling complex software projects spanning hours or days while maintaining consistent performance.
Agentic Capabilities
It builds complex agents that use computers like a human would, navigating applications, browsing documents, and interacting with various interfaces.
Workflow Integration
A new Google Chrome extension allows Claude to browse and act within Gmail, Google Docs, and other web applications, effectively acting as an agent within your actual workflow.
Developer Tools
Anthropic has launched significant upgrades to Claude Code, including checkpoints for saving and rolling back progress, a refreshed terminal interface, and a native VS Code extension. A new Claude Agent SDK provides building blocks for developers to create custom agents.
Continuous Learning & Adaptation
The model is now able to continuously learn from experience, adapt to user workflows, and perform reliably over long contexts, overcoming previous limitations where models would "drift" or fail.
Why It Matters ?
Claude Sonnet 4.5 represents a paradigm shift from prompt-based tools to sophisticated AI agents that work alongside humans. Its "world's best coding model" claim significantly accelerates development velocity, enabling AI to plan and execute multi-step tasks, including refactoring large codebases and navigating tools without APIs. This advancement has profound implications across various industries, from deploying agents that autonomously patch cybersecurity vulnerabilities to transforming financial analysis and research into more efficient, AI-driven processes. The rapid performance leap from its predecessors highlights the accelerating pace of AI development, with models quickly becoming obsolete on performance charts within months.
Pricing
Claude Sonnet 4.5 is available via Anthropic's API, Claude Code, and the Claude app. API pricing remains consistent with the previous Sonnet model at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. For individual users, Claude Pro is available at $20/month ($17/month with annual billing), offering increased usage and access to advanced models. The Claude Max plan starts from $100/month for significantly higher usage. Code execution and file creation features are accessible on all paid plans within the Claude apps.
