Anthropic positions Sonnet 5.5 as a faster, lower-cost model for everyday, well-scoped work, while reserving Opus 5.5 for complex tasks requiring sustained judgment.
Why it matters: For routine work, lower effort may deliver useful results faster and at lower task cost; higher effort is available when more reasoning and checking are worth the added time and tokens.
Holo4 is a two-size agentic model series designed to switch among GUI actions, code, MCP and APIs within one business workflow.
Why it matters: For workflows spanning apps and tools, one model that can use different interfaces may reduce the need to switch models by platform. Public benchmark trajectories can be inspected, but comparisons need care: some AutomationBench scores and costs come from different sets, and Holo4's private-set evaluation is pending.
