Claude Sonnet 5
A good performance / EU-hosting balance for a European company.
Overview
Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's flagship generalist model, tuned for coding and everyday enterprise tasks, with a one-million-token context window large enough to hold entire codebases or document sets. Anthropic has released no model card or benchmark figures alongside it, so any claim about real-world performance stays unverified for now. The model is closed and cloud-only, hosted on Anthropic's US infrastructure, with no open weights and no on-premise option - a real consideration for European teams with data-residency requirements.
