Claude Sonnet 5

Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's mid-tier Claude model, released early July 2026.

The pitch is simple: near Claude Opus 4.8

Claude Tag is Anthropic's way for teams to work with Claude as a teammate inside Slack. Announced June 23, 2026 (beta for Claude Team and Enterprise), it lets Claude join Slack as a team member: admins grant it access to selected channels, tools, data, and codebases, and anyone in a channel can tag
