UnverifiedOpus typically handles more complex tasks requiring deeper reasoning, while Sonnet strikes a balance between performance and cost.73% similarUnverifiedTesters found that Sonnet 5 may be the model with the lowest token efficiency, consuming tokens at a rate close to Opus in max effort mode but with weaker results.69% similarUnverifiedThe efficiency improvements of Claude Opus 5.5 are reflected across three dimensions: fewer tokens consumed per task, a lower price per token, and faster generation speed.68% similarUnverifiedTokenizer changes leading to token inflation make Sonnet 5's superficially low price illusory, with actual total costs in certain scenarios far exceeding expectations.65% similarUnverifiedOpus 5 tends to expand the task scope on its own; for narrow tasks, the scope must be explicitly constrained.64% similar
