Claude Sonnet 5
Claude Sonnet 5 is the production balance in the Claude 5 family: capable coding and tool work without paying for the heaviest route on every turn.
Three jobs to try first
Trace behavior across files, identify failure paths, and propose a scoped patch plan.
Prompt starter
Review the attached code for [goal]. Trace the request end to end, list findings by severity with file evidence, then propose the smallest safe patch and focused tests.
Create a usable brief, proposal, specification, or report with explicit sections and criteria.
Prompt starter
Draft a [deliverable] for [audience]. Use this source material: [context]. Required sections: [sections]. Keep claims evidence-based and end with decisions and next actions.
Turn requirements and constraints into options, trade-offs, and a decision record.
Prompt starter
Act as a staff architect. Compare three approaches for [system]. Use these constraints: [constraints]. Return a decision table, risks, migration steps, and a final recommendation.
This PixMind route accepts text and images. Video, audio, or PDF availability is shown separately and should not be inferred from the model family.

This PixMind route accepts text and images. Video, audio, or PDF availability is shown separately and should not be inferred from the model family. The current catalog flags: text, vision.
State the outcome and constraints directly. For long work, define checkpoints and the expected deliverable instead of repeatedly asking the model to be thorough.
Current directory pricing is 1528.8 input points and 7644 output points per 1 million tokens.
Claude Sonnet 5 is positioned for production coding, tool use, and structured knowledge work with balanced cost. Check the comparison table when lower cost, different input support, or a heavier reasoning tier matters more.
A network interruption, insufficient balance, or temporary model availability can stop a reply. Before resending, check whether token usage and points were already settled.
