Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (batch)

Claude Sonnet 4.6 (batch) is Anthropic's batch-priced offering of Sonnet 4.6, accepting text, image, and file inputs. It provides a 1,000,000-token context window and can return up to 128,000 tokens per completion, which suits long documents, large codebases, and lengthy generated outputs. The model supports tool use and reasoning; structured output support is not specified in the available data. At $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens, it belongs on the shortlist for teams running high-volume, non-interactive workloads. Its blended score of 80.1 across five independent benchmarks is fairly well supported, and the profile is uneven in useful ways. It scores 100.0 on the AI Index coding measure and 61.3 on Aider Polyglot, while its agentic score is 67.3 and its EQ-Bench result is 68.4. Coding-focused pipelines stand to benefit most; buyers prioritizing agentic or conversational quality should compare those specific scores against alternatives.
