Speed analysis

Latency measured across all benchmark runs. P50 (median) and P95 (95th percentile) give a realistic picture of response speed under normal and peak load.

Tokens per second

Throughput in tokens per second, derived from measured P50 latency. Higher is better; fluctuations track provider-side load.

Throughput (tokens / s)231 / avg 193
307120

Estimated from P50 latency × 200 output tokens — the absolute number depends on this assumption; the trend is what matters.

Availability

Availability

How often this model answers when we call it — measured across real API requests and live tests over the last 30 days. This is separate from quality: these numbers only tell you whether the model responds, not how good the answer is.

Technical details

Only live API calls and live-test requests count — internal probes and benchmark runs are excluded.

Calls with a custom API key (BYOK) are excluded: those failures are key-specific, not a sign of model downtime.

Failed calls are NOT included in quality scores — quality is measured on successful responses only. Availability and quality are independent signals.

Median response time (p50) across successful calls with a recorded duration. Outliers (very slow or very fast calls) pull the median less than the average.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 debuts with strong coding and vision performance

Claude Sonnet 5.5 enters as Anthropic's latest mid-tier model, demonstrating balanced capabilities across technical and creative tasks. The model achieves 49.0% on SWE-bench Verified, placing it among the stronger coding models currently available, while scoring 64.7% on MMLU-Pro for general knowledge tasks. Instruction following is solid at 79.4% on IFEval, though not category-leading. Vision capabilities show at 59.7% on MMMU, indicating competent multimodal understanding. Mathematical reasoning reaches 73.1% on MATH-500, and agentic behavior scores 47.4% on Tau-bench. The model supports a comprehensive feature set including tool use, vision processing, JSON output modes, PDF input handling, reasoning capabilities, structured schema outputs, and prompt caching for efficiency. With a 200K context window, it handles substantial document processing tasks. As a baseline entry, Claude Sonnet 5.5 establishes itself as a versatile option for developers needing reliable performance across coding, analysis, and multimodal applications without requiring the most powerful tier.
