Claude Sonnet 5 arrived for coding and agent workflows

Anthropic introduced Claude Sonnet 5 as a model for coding, agents and professional work at scale.

What happened
Anthropic announced Claude Sonnet 5, positioning it for coding, agent workflows and professional work.

Why it matters
Agent stacks should be evaluated against the work they must finish: repository changes, tool use, retries and verification—not only chat quality.

For builders
Keep your prompts portable. Run the same task definition across providers and record test pass rate, review time and operational cost.

Try this
Create a small agent evaluation fixture: issue brief, fixed repository snapshot, test command and human rubric.
