Claude 3.5 Sonnet Overview

Claude 3.5 Sonnet, introduced by Anthropic in June 2024 and upgraded in October 2024, is the mid-tier model of the Claude 3.5 family, designed to balance speed, cost, and advanced reasoning. It is multimodal, handling text and images, and the upgraded version introduced a “computer use” beta feature, allowing the model to interact with a desktop environment for tasks like cursor control and typing. With a 200,000-token context window, it supports long-context reasoning, coding, and multi-step workflows.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet License

Proprietary

Claude 3.5 Sonnet is proprietary: the weights are not distributed, and the Claude 3.5 Sonnet license is the vendor's commercial terms of service that you accept when you call the API.

Commercial use
Permitted under the vendor terms, typically metered per token or per request, with the vendor usage policy applying to your inputs and outputs.
Modification
Not available. Claude 3.5 Sonnet weights are closed, so you can configure prompts and use vendor-hosted fine-tuning where it is offered, but you cannot modify the model itself.
Redistribution
Not permitted. You cannot self-host or resell the model; you build on the hosted API instead.

Vendor terms govern data retention, whether your inputs can be trained on, rate limits, and regional availability, and they can change with notice. Review them if you handle regulated or customer data.
