What developers say about Claude Sonnet 5 on X
- “even sonnet 5.5 is best at its work, opus is superior engineer and fable is absolutel peak .. Genuinely impressed, using claude code since 7-8 months and opus 5.5 and fable from last month and my observations says they are absolute peak at ”
- “Claude Code's latest models and features has been the most Godly effective coding models I've seen. 99% of issues can be worked through with Sonnet 5.5 med/high with loads of tokens to spare.”
- “With Sonnet 5.5 set to High and Ultracode on, I get through an entire work week without hitting any limits on the Team plan. This model has truly been a game changer.”
- “I did use sonnet 5.5 as cheaper subagent within Claude code but only on medium. It’s arguably better than opus 5.5 with heavy tool calls and where I don’t need the bigger model smell for defined tasks”
- “Sonnet is almost as good as Opus 5.5 but has a major shortcoming - it gives up too easily. It’s sort of conservative in how much it’s willing to explore vs Opus (same effort)”
