Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 is a 2025 update focused on long-duration autonomous work, stronger tool/computer use, tighter safety/alignment, and richer developer features (context editing, memory, in-chat code execution and file creation). Benchmarks and vendor tests emphasize large gains on coding and “agentic” tasks (e.g., Anthropic reports ~30 hours of continuous autonomous coding in internal tests and big jumps on OS/tool-use benchmarks).
Key features
- Agentic capability: designed to run multi-step agents and coordinate multi-agent workflows.
- Coding & software use: Anthropic markets Claude Sonnet 4.5 as its best coding model, capable of end-to-end software work (design → implement → test → deploy).
- Hybrid reasoning / Thinking mode: supports on-demand extended reasoning (“thinking”) to trade latency for higher accuracy on complex tasks.
- Large context & output: advertised 200K context window and up to 64K output tokens for very large inputs/outputs.
Technical details (what the release changes)
Architecture & focus: Claude Sonnet 4.5 is a Sonnet-series mid-to-frontier model tuned for multi-step tool use, extended task horizons, and improved deterministic behavior when interacting with external systems. Anthropic emphasizes improvements in computer use (automation of workflows across files, spreadsheets, and developer tools) and reasoning/math capabilities versus previous Sonnet releases.
Long-horizon operation: The release specifically highlights the model’s ability to run as a continuous agent for extended periods (reported examples up to ~30 hours of autonomous operation in internal and early-customer tests), a large step up from previous multi-hour limits. This is important for use cases that require continuous monitoring, orchestration, or multi-step software projects.
Tooling & context: Claude Sonnet 4.5 ships with improved context-management and agent tooling (context editing, memory tools, multi-agent support), enabling developers to manage and persist agent state more robustly.
Performance benchmarks
- SWE-bench Verified: 77.2% (200K thinking budget, scaffold + tools); 78.2% in 1M context; 82.0% reported for a “high-compute” candidate selection regime.
- OSWorld (computer tasks): 61.4% for Sonnet 4.5 vs 42.2% for Sonnet 4 (four months earlier).
- Autonomy length (internal tests): >30 hours continuous autonomous coding/agent operation (previous generation ~7 hours).
- Operating-system/tool benchmark: Anthropic reports a jump to ~60% versus ~40% for the predecessor on an OS interaction benchmark — showing improved reliability when the model controls software.


Primary use cases
- Software engineering & code generation: Large-scale code synthesis, multi-file project generation, autonomous coding agents.
- Agentic automation & orchestration: Building long-lived agents that monitor systems, run repeated tasks, and coordinate tools (calendar, email, VMs, spreadsheets).
- Data analysis & finance/cybersecurity workflows: Deep analysis over documents, litigation briefs, financial models, and cybersecurity triage where multi-step reasoning and reliable tool use matter.
