Anthropic halves Sonnet 5.5 cache prices
Anthropic cut Claude Sonnet 5.5 cache-read pricing from $0.20 to $0.10 per million tokens, effective October 7, 2026. The company says most agentic workloads should now cost about 20% less.
// ANALYSIS
This is a meaningful infrastructure discount for agents, though not a general model price cut.
- –Long-running coding agents with stable prompts and large repository contexts benefit most.
- –Fresh input and output pricing remains $2 and $10 per million tokens, respectively.
- –Actual savings depend on cache-hit rates, prompt structure, and cache duration.
- –The change strengthens Sonnet 5.5 as a default production model for repetitive agentic workflows.
