No official DeepSWE mini-swe-agent row for this identity on the public board we fetched.
claude-sonnet-5-5sonnet alias now selects it. Sonnet 5 stays selectable in every picker it already appears in.The API id is claude-sonnet-5-5 on the Claude API, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS; Amazon Bedrock uses anthropic.claude-sonnet-5-5. Continuum uses the bare id at the gateway and continuum/claude-sonnet-5-5 in cross-provider pickers.
Adaptive thinking is on by default. Effort levels are low, medium, high, xhigh, and max; the API default is high. The lowest thinking setting is between_tools, which works at high effort or below. Sending disabled, a thinking budget, or a non-default temperature, top_p, or top_k returns a 400. The input context is 1,000,000 tokens, maximum output is 128,000 tokens, and the knowledge cutoff is June 2026. Input is text and images; output is text.
Anthropic positions it as the best combination of speed and intelligence, and says it runs more than 30% faster per task than Sonnet 5 at the same price.
Use Sonnet 5.5 as the everyday Claude for new sessions: plan mode, coding runs, and agent work where Haiku is too small but Opus or Fable would be more than the task needs.
Choose it instead of Sonnet 5 for every new session. The old id remains selectable, so nothing already running needs to move.
No independent board lists this exact SKU as of 2026-08-19.
Closest benchmarked sibling: Claude Opus 5, 74% ±4% Pass@1 at max on the DeepSWE official board. That is a score for the sibling, not for this SKU.

Continuum hosts the bare gateway id claude-sonnet-5-5. Native Claude sessions use the same bare id on the user’s Anthropic subscription.
The previous claude-sonnet-5 row stays in new-session menus below Sonnet 5.5. Its pricing and hosted capability metadata are unchanged.

We list first-party and OpenRouter, plus Continuum only when the live public allowlist named the id. This is not a 15-host routing table.
Official pricing per million tokens: $2 input, $10 output, $0.20 cache read, $2.50 five-minute cache write, and $4 one-hour cache write.
Cache reads are 0.1x input. There is no long-context tier: the full 1M window bills at the standard rate.

It takes the sonnet alias and the top Sonnet slot in every picker, but Sonnet 5 stays selectable everywhere it already is. Nothing already running needs to move.
Up-front thinking turns off with thinking type between_tools at high effort or below. Sending disabled returns an error, as does between_tools at xhigh or max effort.
No. Forced tool choice returns an error. Leave selection on automatic. Continuum drops forced choices before forwarding the request.
Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.
