i tested sonnet 5.5 on "code-to-painting". every pixel is generated by python the model wrote. it's shown a photo, writes a brush engine, renders, looks, and revises. you can see the large step-up from sonnet 5 in terms of coding + visual reasoning.

wow that's pretty nice!

any chance you could upload the original reference photo?

Anspruch6 days ago

wait it writes a whole brush engine?

The leap in visual reasoning and coding capabilities is massive. We actually went deeper on this here:

Aapakari6 days ago

Writing the brush engine itself is the bit that got me.

Got this a few days ago from Opus 5.5 with a reference video. All code, not filter. It's wild what we can do now.

This is so cool Lance!!! That 5.5 photo is gorgeous

sonnet 5 is routing to sonnet 5.5 it's been a week since it started routing to newer model and team already confirmed that sonnet 5.5 is coming soon from early testing it looks like a huge upgrade from sonnet 5 like opus 5 to opus 5.5 just look at this output, it looks way better then gpt 6 sol i think it's either anthropic is training their models on voxels or sol is just bad please openai don't let sonnet mog sol

We've just added Claude Sonnet 5.5 to Caffeine. It's Anthropic's model for work you can describe clearly: fix this bug, add a booking form, polish this page. Anthropic says it's 30% faster than Sonnet 5, and cheaper than Opus 5.5. Keep Opus 5.5 for planning something new, and hand the follow-up work to Sonnet 5.5. On Caffeine, you can switch between models in the same conversation.

I had early access to Sonnet 5.5 and it's a colossal jump from Sonnet 5. This model is REALLY GOOD and BLAZING FAST. Here are some things I made! Wolverine

Today we launched Claude Sonnet 5.5! 30% faster and costs up to 30% less than Sonnet 5 for most work. Strong for well-scoped everyday tasks (fixing bugs, creating docs, slides). Lance Martin had models paint the same photo in code. You can see the jump:

Official Anthropic tip for Claude Code: stop burning Opus 5.5 on work Sonnet 5.5 can do, while Fable 5.1 sits idle hand the grunt work to Sonnet 5.5 subagents and put Fable 5.1 on call run /advisor fable Opus 5.5 plans and merges Sonnet 5.5 subagents read, edit and run the tests Fable 5.1 reads the full session and only speaks up at three points: → before a plan: is this the right approach? → when the same error comes back: am I digging in the wrong place? → before "done": what did I miss? Sonnet 5.5 builds. Fable 5.1 reviews. Opus 5.5 ships Jev engineering is the same move one layer down: the forks that need no thinker (which file, which tool, retry or stop) go to Jev in under half a second, and the big models only see the ones that split - the full tree > Opus 5.5 on high runs the main session > explorer reads the code on Sonnet 5.5 > worker edits and runs tests on Sonnet 5.5 > researcher pulls the docs on Sonnet 5.5 > all three on medium > Fable 5.1 on call for main and every subagent paste the tree and this prompt into Claude Code ↓ "Rebuild my Claude Code setup around this tree: 1. Check ~/.claude/agents and .claude/agents for subagents that already fit explorer, worker and researcher. > Draft new ones only for missing roles > Give each model: sonnet, effort: medium > Skip any that pin a different model and list them 2. Set the main session to high via effortLevel in ~/.claude/settings.json, and set advisorModel to fable 3. Find anything that keeps the advisor off (CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADVISOR_TOOL, DISABLE_TELEMETRY) plus CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL, which overrides subagent effort. Report them, change nothing 4. Add one rule to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md: consult the advisor before a large plan, when an error repeats, and before calling a long task done Show me every change as a diff first. No edits until I say go." ↳

I built a working StarCraft level with Sonnet 5.5. You play Terran, defending your base against the Zerg: → Build Marines, Siege Tanks, and Battlecruisers → Use SC2 models from Sketchfab (by Catholomew) → Music generated with Suno 📌 Play it here: Sonnet also made the sizzle reel below.

This approach has made Sonnet the model of choice for developers worldwide. In addition to our new model, we're launching Claude Code, our first coding tool, in a limited research preview. With Claude Code, you can delegate substantial tasks to Claude—right from your terminal.

Runway Co-Founder & Co-CEO Anastasis Germanidis breaks down Solaris, an interface world model that generates interactive applications pixel by pixel: "Solaris is what we call an interface world model." "It's an interactive video model that essentially renders an interface for you." "The difference is that it's all generated pixel by pixel by a video model." "Unlike traditional interfaces where you write some code, you write some HTML or CSS, and then that renders pixels, you're now rendering pixels directly." "By doing that you get a ton more flexibility." "You can kind of leverage everything that the video model can do and create any kind of application on top of it."

this is certified f*cking gold for anyone paying for Claude Sonnet 5.5 costs half of what Opus 5.5 does on real office work across 44 jobs it scores 1844. Opus scores 1846 on coding it went from 10.3% to 70.6% in one version and passed Opus on the way most of what you pay Opus for, Sonnet 5.5 now does at half the price here's how to split the work: • give it to Sonnet 5.5 > bug fixes and well-scoped coding tasks > decks built from your own slide template > spreadsheets and polished documents > UI polish, it has a real eye for design > fast back-and-forth, it runs 30%+ faster • keep it for Opus 5.5 > long, open-ended work with judgment calls for hours > anything where one wrong assumption costs you a day • the setting that saves the most > Medium is the default in the Claude apps and Claude Code > on Low or Medium it beats Sonnet 5's best score for a tenth of the cost > raise effort only when the first answer falls short • the price > $2 in and $10 out, against $4 and $20 for Opus > cache reads $0.20 on both • check before you switch > if you ran Sonnet with thinking off, move to the new between_tools setting first whoever routes the weekly grunt work to Sonnet 5.5 and saves Opus for the hard calls ships more on half the budget, and that's the person who gets noticed

Jev + Opus 5.5: Anthropic's new model beats GPT-6 Astra for 1/5 the cost, and 4 API changes will 400 your agent before it writes a single line I pulled these 10 steps from the migration docs so you don't learn them in production step 1 → $4 / $20 per 1M. Opus 5 was $5 / $25. cache reads dropped from $0.50 to $0.20 step 2 → 66.4% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 vs GPT-6 Astra 57.9% and Opus 5 52.3%. +14.1 points in one release, and on FrontierCode it beats Astra at default effort for 1/5 the cost step 3 → thinking can't be turned off anymore. send thinking: disabled and you get a 400. drop the field, set effort step 4 → tool_choice any and tool are gone. 400. switch to auto + strict step 5 → edit anything above a thinking block and the request dies. append only, or opt into drop_block step 6 → computer_20251124 is dead on the API. 400. move to computer_toolset_20260801 step 7 → the quiet one: default effort fell from high to medium. your agent thinks less than you set it up to and nothing tells you step 8 → hop Opus 5.5 → Sonnet 5 → Opus 5.5 and you pay 4.36 instead of 3.32. +31%, the cache dies and Sonnet can't read Opus's reasoning step 9 → change effort at the top of the request and the cache is gone. Jev sets it per message and the cache stays step 10 → switch fast - standard mid-session and it's a full cache miss.

This is the best way to use Claude Fable in Claude Code without immediately hitting your limits. 1. Model set to Fable 5 2. Reasoning on Max 3. Instruct Claude to run a dynamic workflow where: 3a. Fable is the orchestrator 3b. Opus does the reasoning heavy phases Fable is so overpowered that you don't need its intelligence for every step. Let it orchestrate Opus or even Sonnet.

Tip: Ask Claude Code Community to use adapters, feature flags, and interfaces for implementations. 1. Model releases improve rapidly: 2024 June: Sonnet 3.5 2024 Oct: Sonnet 3.6 2025 Feb: Sonnet 3.7 2025 May: Sonnet/Opus 4 2025 Sept: Sonnet 4.5 Design key components around interfaces to do seamless rewrites with stronger released models. Use adapters and feature flags to gradually roll out usage. 2. There's tremendous value in simply updating api to use `claude-sonnet-4-5`. But remembering timeless software abstractions allows for the entire application to improve with the model. 3. Use Claude 4.5 Sonnet beyond code—it's a powerhouse for daily tasks. Try the Claude Chrome extension for forms, calendars, emails, or automating expense reports. These capabilities build on Sonnet 4.5's enhanced agentic capabilities making it easier to integrate to daily life. 4. We're living in a truly magical era, together. Enjoy the moment.
