Claude Sonnet model by Anthropic

Claude Sonnet 4.5

An earlier Claude Sonnet release. Anthropic deprecated it on September 30, 2026 and retires it on its own platform on November 30, 2026; it still runs there until then, and Anthropic recommends Claude Sonnet 5.5 in its place. Other routes keep their own dates: Amazon Bedrock lists it as Legacy until April 8, 2027, and GitHub Copilot retired it on September 1, 2026.

Claude Sonnet 4.5AnthropicThis page, always on the chart

Ranked against the 40 current releases on this chart, Claude Sonnet 4.5's best rank is 23rd of 31 on Factuality. It ranks lowest on Math, 29th of 29 and Hard reasoning, 38th of 39. Agentic coding and Computer use: not yet published by Anthropic or any independent evaluator, checked Nov 2, 2026.

Each axis is one public benchmark at one setting, on its own fixed 0 to 100 scale, so adding a model never moves another. A dotted bridge crosses a missing result, which is never a zero.

  • Claude Sonnet 4.5 writes 52.3 output tokens per second on Anthropic's API, and its first token arrives 14 s after the request. Artificial Analysis, Oct 28, 2026.
  • Fastest on the chart is the shortest time to a 500-token answer: time to first token plus 500 tokens at the median output speed.

Every model with a result, axis by axis

57 models. A maker's own figure and another lab's run are marked with their benchmark; a missing result reads "Not yet published", never zero.

The result of every model GILD has benchmark results for, on each of the 12 axes. A vendor-reported value is marked. A model's run notes open under its row from its name, each with the axes it covers.

What practitioners report

Strongest on Speed, weakest on Cost.

Each figure is the share of accounts naming Claude Sonnet 4.5 that speak well of it on that axis. An axis is scored once praise and concerns are both on record from at least five accounts by three authors. An account from the maker, a company that sells or serves the model, or the maker's expert program is listed and counts toward no figure.
