Claude Sonnet 5.5 is on AI Gateway. πšŠπš—πšπš‘πš›πš˜πš™πš’πšŒ/πšŒπš•πšŠπšžπšπšŽ-πšœπš˜πš—πš—πšŽπš-𝟻.𝟻 It is 30% faster and 30% cheaper than Sonnet 5 across benchmarks. vercel.com/changelog/claude-…
Replying to @claudeai
Sonnet 5.5 improves on Sonnet 5 across benchmarks, in some cases dramatically. It’s a faster, lower-cost complement to Claude Opus 5.5, strongest at well-scoped everyday tasks, fixing bugs, and creating polished documents, slides, and spreadsheets.
