Fast Claude model for everyday coding, agents, and knowledge work
Claude Sonnet 5.5 by anthropic is offered by 26 providers on this page. Its official list price is $2.00 per 1M input tokens and $10.00 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is NanoGPT at $2.00 / $10.00 per 1M, about 1.3× below the list price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
Artificial Analysis rates it 56 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $4.00 per 1M, that is roughly 14 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 141 tokens per second, with 487.11s to the first token. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $5.4609, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.
The context window is 1,000,000 tokens, with an output limit of 128,000 tokens. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, and PDF. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2026-06.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

The same benchmark scores very differently across harness / dataset, so the qualifying conditions must be shown together.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
