It happened. Claude Sonnet 5 released.
Dominates Opus 4.6. Almost as good as Opus 4.8. A fraction of the price.
It's also significantly faster than Opus, while being incredibly agentic. Without a doubt the new go to model for Hermes/OpenClaw
Do yourself a favor and do this now:
• Plug into Hermes and OpenClaw
• Use as default for Claude Code
• Ultra complex tasks use Opus 4.8 on Ultracode mode
• Use for long running tasks
Use the hell out of it. When new tech drops, you have an opportunity to get work done better and faster than your competition
Today is one of those opportunities
Next up we wait for the Fable announcement
