[Announcement](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-sonnet-5-5) · [What’s new](https://platform.claude.com/docs/de/models/sonnet-5-5/whats-new-sonnet-5-5) · [Migration guide](https://platform.claude.com/docs/de/models/sonnet-5-5/migration-guide)

## Überblick

Claude Sonnet 5.5 bietet die beste Kombination aus Geschwindigkeit und Intelligenz. Das Modell ist für alltägliche Coding-, Agenten- und Unternehmens-Workloads konzipiert, etwa Codegenerierung, Datenanalyse, Content-Erstellung, visuelles Verständnis und agentische Tool-Nutzung.

* **Context:** 1M tokens is roughly 555k words or 2.5M Unicode characters on the current tokenizer (introduced with Claude Opus 4.7); models before it fit about 750k words in 1M tokens. 200k tokens is roughly 150k words.
* **Max output:** Synchronous Messages API limit. On the Message Batches API, Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Haiku 5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Opus 4.6, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 support up to 300k output tokens with the output-300k-2026-03-24 beta header.
* **Price / MTok:** Input / output, base price per million tokens. Batch API requests are 50% off; prompt caching reads cost 10% of the base input price (2.5% on Claude Fable 5.2, Claude Mythos 5.2, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Mythos 5.1, 5% on Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5). See Pricing for the full list.
* **Latency:** Comparative latency, relative to the current lineup, as published in the models overview. Actual latency depends on prompt length, output length, and thinking effort.
* **Thinking:** Adaptive thinking lets the model decide how much to think, steered by effort. Extended thinking is the manual budget\_tokens mode on earlier models.
* **Default effort:** The effort parameter’s default on the Claude API. Models without a value don’t support the parameter.
* **Knowledge cutoff:** Reliable knowledge cutoff: the date through which the model’s knowledge is most extensive and reliable.

## Gut zu wissen

* „Adaptive thinking“ (adaptives Nachdenken) ist standardmäßig aktiviert. Die niedrigste Nachdenken-Einstellung ist `between_tools`, die das vorgelagerte Nachdenken deaktiviert. Sie funktioniert bei „effort“ (Aufwand) `high` oder darunter. Siehe [Was ist neu in Claude Sonnet 5.5](https://platform.claude.com/docs/de/models/sonnet-5-5/whats-new-sonnet-5-5#turn-off-up-front-thinking).
* Das Setzen von `temperature`, `top_p` oder `top_k` gibt einen 400-Fehler zurück.
* Die minimale cachebare Prompt-Länge beträgt 512 Token. Siehe [„Prompt caching“ (Prompt-Caching)](https://platform.claude.com/docs/de/build-with-claude/prompt-caching#cache-limitations).
* In der [Message Batches API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/de/build-with-claude/batch-processing#extended-output-beta) unterstützt Claude Sonnet 5.5 mit dem Beta-Header `output-300k-2026-03-24` bis zu 300k Ausgabe-Token.
* Frage Limits und Fähigkeiten programmatisch mit der [Models API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/de/api/models/list) ab.
