Anthropic's Sonnet 5.5: 7x Coding Leap

🔥 What happened Anthropic dropped Claude Sonnet 5.5 — 30% faster, up to 30% cheaper, and scoring 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 (up from Sonnet 5's 10.3%). Haiku 5.5 arrives in weeks. 💡 Why it matters That's a 7x jump in agentic coding, not an incremental bump — and it undercuts Sonnet 5 on cost per task. For everyday coding and bug fixes, Opus 5.5 just became optional. ⚡ Our take Anthropic is cannibalizing its own premium tier. If you're still paying Opus prices for routine coding, you're burning budget for nothing.
