Recent changes
What changed for plans serving Claude Sonnet 5
The 3 newest entries in the change ledger for plans that include Claude Sonnet 5 — each one dated and linked to its record.
How many requests per $1 do I get on Claude Sonnet 5?
The best plan pricing Claude Sonnet 5 delivers ~153 Req/$1 at the model's typical request shape — on LLM Gateway DevPass Pro. Figures are proxy confidence: they are computed from published rates and usage caps, proxy estimates are marked with a ~, and borrowed-cap plans use a published API cap at list price, so their Req/$1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.
What's the cheapest plan with Claude Sonnet 5?
GitHub Copilot Pro at $10/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — check Req/$1 above.
Which plans include Claude Sonnet 5?
20 tracked plans across 7 providers price it: CommandCode (Max 10×, Max 20×, Pro and Provider), Standard Compute (Starter, Economy, Standard and Pro), GitHub Copilot (Pro, Pro+ and Max), LLM Gateway DevPass (Lite, Pro and Max), ZenMux (Builder Starter, Builder Max and Builder Ultra), Ozore (Basic and Pro) and Claude Pro. 3 more list it without a priceable calculator rate, so their calculator rows render n/a: Cursor Premium, Cursor Super and Cursor Ultra. The calculator compares every tracked monthly plan that prices it.
Where does Claude Sonnet 5 rank on the Agent Arena leaderboard?
#21 (High config) on the Agent Arena agent leaderboard — 2.06% net improvement (board fetched 2026-11-09). Ranks are scraped from https://arena.ai/leaderboard/agent, never typed by hand.
What is Claude Sonnet 5?
Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic’s mid-range text generation model for agentic coding and reasoning (family: claude, kind: text), positioned between the budget Haiku line and the frontier Opus line.
How does Claude Sonnet 5 compare to Claude Opus 5?
Claude Sonnet 5 is the cost-efficient middle of the Claude line, while Claude Opus 5 sits above it in the Claude line. Sonnet offers strong agentic coding performance at a lower per-request price than Opus.
Is Claude Sonnet 5 open-weight?
No — Claude Sonnet 5 is a proprietary Anthropic model, so unlike open-weight models such as GLM-5.3 it is only reachable through provider endpoints; you cannot self-host it or access the weights.
Can I use Claude Sonnet 5 with any agent (BYOK)?
Yes — several tracked plans expose Claude Sonnet 5 through OpenAI-compatible endpoints with no CLI lock, so you can use it with OpenCode, pi, Cursor, or any agent that supports custom endpoints.
What is Claude Sonnet 5 best used for?
Claude Sonnet 5 is best for coding and agentic tasks that need strong frontier reasoning without paying for the top Opus tier — a balance between capability and per-request cost.
