Claude Sonnet 4.6 available: better in coding, reasoning, and agentic
"The latest Anthropic model brings improvements in coding, computer usage, long-context reasoning, and agent planning. Less than two weeks ago, the company released Claude Opus 4.6. Claude Sonnet 4.6 is now the standard on the Free and Pro plans of claude.ai and Claude Cowork. For developers, the price remains $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. Anthropic claims that users clearly prefer the new model over its predecessor."
"In Claude Code, Anthropic's development environment, early adopters preferred Sonnet 4.6 over Sonnet 4.5 about 70 percent of the time. They reported that the model reads context more effectively before modifying code and that it consolidates shared logic rather than duplicating it. Even compared to Opus 4.5, the frontier model from November 2025, users chose Sonnet 4.6 in 59 percent of cases."
"In October 2024, Anthropic was the first to introduce a general-purpose computer-using model, a type of AI that interacts with a computer's user interface in the same way a human does. This allows the AI to understand the screen and perform tasks for the user. Progress has been significant since the end of 2024. On OSWorld, the standard benchmark for AI computer use, Sonnet models are scoring higher and higher."
Claude Sonnet 4.6 delivers measurable improvements in coding, computer interaction, long-context reasoning, and agent planning and is now the default model on the Free and Pro plans of claude.ai and Claude Cowork. Developer pricing remains $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. Early adopters in Claude Code preferred Sonnet 4.6 over 4.5 about 70% of the time, noting better context reading and consolidation of shared logic. Sonnet 4.6 was chosen over Opus 4.5 in 59% of cases. Sonnet models show rising OSWorld benchmark scores and near-human performance on many UI tasks while still trailing top human experts. Prompt injection remains a risk, but Sonnet 4.6 shows substantial security improvements over Sonnet 4.5 and parity with Opus 4.6.
