Write and analyze with Claude Sonnet 5.5
Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's everyday model, released on September 28, 2026, and a clear step up from Sonnet 5 at the same price: it writes more clearly, follows a detailed brief more closely and delivers more polished documents. It reads the images and PDFs connected to the Text node, which makes it the right default for describing a render, rewriting a prompt, writing a voice-over or breaking a script into shots. Opus 5.5 keeps the edge on the most demanding texts; for everything else, it is the model to pick without thinking twice.
The new default for writing
Claude Sonnet 5.5, released on September 28, 2026, succeeds Sonnet 5 at the same price, two dollars per million input tokens and ten for output. Anthropic presents it as a clear step up on well-scoped everyday work, and it writes more clearly than its predecessor: fewer detours, briefs followed more closely, more polished documents.
It is the model to connect without thinking twice in a Text node: describing a render, rewriting a prompt, writing a voice-over, breaking a script into shots. It reads the images and PDFs connected to the node. Imaginode's templates now use it by default; Opus 5.5 keeps the edge on the most demanding texts.
