Claude Sonnet 4.5 Capabilities

Claude Sonnet 4.5 thrives on complex, long-running workstreams which keeps context, improves plans, and coordinates tools with unusual reliability.

Hybrid Reasoning & Tool-Coordination

Hybrid Reasoning & Tool-Coordination

Claude Sonnet 4.5 supports “extended thinking mode” where it alternates between reasoning, tool interaction, and incremental progress tracking. It allows the tool to use multiple tools, clear stale context, and sustain focus over large scopes.

Large Context Window

Large Context Window

With a 200K context window and up to 64K output tokens, it can plan, reason, and generate at enterprise scale without losing the thread. Enhanced tool coordination helps it synthesize information faster and deliver more consistent outcomes.

Coding & Long-Horizon Autonomy

Coding & Long-Horizon Autonomy

The model is built for long-horizon coding and agentic workflows. Anthropic reports it managed over 30 hours of autonomous coding and refactoring while maintaining coherence and context.

Reliable Support for Long-Term Projects

Workflows that span hours, files, or sessions no longer stall or reset prematurely. With extended context window, memory-tools and autonomous progress tracking, the model stays engaged and consistent over longer time spans.

Reliable Support for Long-Term Projects

Clear plan, Faster Outcomes

The model turns rough ideas into structured plans with measurable milestones. It refines drafts into crisp, professional results while preserving your intent and tone to provide personalized and effective output.

Clear plan, Faster Outcomes

Coordinate Tools with Clear Oversight

Orchestrate multiple resources in parallel while keeping reasoning easy to follow. Claude Sonnet 4.5 aligns inputs, actions, and summaries so outcomes stay consistent and auditable.

Coordinate Tools with Clear Oversight

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is reliable and balances control and accessibility

Claude Sonnet 4.5 helps organizations adopt advanced AI with confidence while maintaining clear oversight.

Enterprise-grade alignment

Enterprise-grade alignment

Built with ASL-3 protections and improved behavioral guardrails, minimizing sycophancy, deception, and unsafe outputs for dependable deployment.

Prompt-injection resilience

Prompt-injection resilience

Hardened against adversarial prompts and web-borne manipulations, maintaining task objectives and safeguarding tools, credentials, and sensitive organizational context.

Stateful project memory

Stateful project memory

Optional memory incorporates important facts beyond the context window, enabling continuity across sessions and smoother long-horizon, multi-phase initiatives.

Checkpointed workflow control

Checkpointed workflow control

Save progress snapshots and instantly roll back during extensive tasks, reducing risk while experimenting, refactoring, or exploring alternative solution branches.

Intelligent context hygiene

Intelligent context hygiene

Automatically prunes stale context and tool traces near limits, preserving crucial facts so long-running executions remain coherent, efficient, and accurate.

Policy-driven permissions

Policy-driven permissions

Granular, auditable permissions frameworks govern tool access, file operations, and environment scopes, enabling compliant agent behavior across varied organizational environments.

Cross-platform availability

Cross-platform availability

Accessible via API and major clouds, with desktop and mobile apps, fitting diverse workflows without infrastructure overhaul or vendor lock-in.

In-conversation file creation

In-conversation file creation

Create, edit, and execute code, spreadsheets, documents, and slides directly in chat, streamlining production while keeping collaboration centralized and traceable.

Transparent progress telemetry

Transparent progress telemetry

Clear action traces, summaries, and incremental updates improve oversight, making review, handoffs, and audits faster without sacrificing autonomy or quality.
