Claude Sonnet 5: AI model built for agentic behavior with autonomous tool use and planning capabilities.
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.I have been using Sonnet 4.6 more than Opus, because I'm mostly doing agent-assisted development and not fully agent-driven development. This announcement does not make me…
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. So I guess the takeaway is that if Sonnet 5 medium isn't good enough for you, switch models, not effort levels.

We used RL to train models that create curated context from long documents for downstream use by agents. The models sometimes learn to invent their own abbreviations and shorthand. Optimizing with RL for downstream use produces very different artifacts from ordinary summaries:
We don't actually know how complex systems work—just the abstraction layer we were born into, maybe one or two levels deeper.
The issue with this is that we don't know how it works. Generally speaking, we know how the level of abstraction that we were born with works. We might have some understanding of one or two previous levels, but that decreases the farther down you go. We might understand the next level, and some of the next after that, but eventually people will be making things that we don't have the context to…
