When we release new model snapshots, we migrate aliases to point to the newest version of a model, typically within a week of the new release. While aliases are useful for experimentation, we recommend using specific model versions (e.g., claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929) in production applications to ensure consistent behavior.

The model also shows improved capabilities on a broad range of evaluations including reasoning and math: Claude Sonnet 4.5 is our most powerful model to date.

Pricing for Sonnet 4.5 starts at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, with up to 90% cost savings with prompt caching and 50% cost savings with batch processing. To learn more, check out our pricing page. To get started, simply use claude-sonnet-4-5 via the Claude API.
