gpt-5.5Claude Sonnet 5 is the next generation of Anthropic's Sonnet model family. It is a drop-in upgrade for Claude Sonnet 4.6 with three behavior changes: adaptive thinking is on by default, manual extended thinking now returns a 400 error (it was deprecated on Claude Sonnet 4.6), and setting sampling parameters (temperature, top_p, top_k) to non-default values returns a 400 error
GPT-5.5 raises the baseline for complex production workflows. It’s a strong fit for coding use cases, tool-heavy agents, grounded assistants, long-context retrieval, product-spec-to-plan workflows, and customer-facing workflows where execution quality and response polish are critical.
Prices are per million tokens. Latency and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
