Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5 and it placed No. 2 behind its own Opus 5.5 in Artificial Analysis’s Intelligence Index while beating OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra. Sonnet 5.5 scored 56 points on the index, up 18 from Sonnet 5 at 38. This shifts the top two spots to Anthropic and raises attention to a tradeoff of higher token usage—about 193,000 output tokens per task—for stronger benchmark performance.
