Claude 3.5 Sonnet raises the industry bar for intelligence, outperforming competitor models and Claude 3 Opus on a wide range of evaluations, with the speed and cost of the mid-tier model, Claude 3 Sonnet.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is now available for free on Claude.ai and the Claude iOS app, while Claude Pro and Team plan subscribers can access it with significantly higher rate limits. It is also available via the Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. The model costs $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, with a 200K token context window.
The model sets new industry benchmarks for graduate-level reasoning (GPQA), undergraduate-level knowledge (MMLU), and coding proficiency (HumanEval). It shows marked improvement in grasping nuance, humor, and complex instructions, and is exceptional at writing high-quality content with a natural, relatable tone.
Operating at twice the speed of Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is ideal for complex tasks such as context-sensitive customer support and orchestrating multi-step workflows. It also excels in agentic coding evaluations, independently solving 64% of problems, compared to Claude 3 Opus’s 38%.
