Claude Sonnet 5 is currently available as a Paid chat model with text and image input support and a five-step reasoning-effort range — off, low, medium, high, and xhigh — set to medium by default. The direct action keeps that model selected while the App validates current access.

This page does not claim benchmark leadership, external pricing, or feature parity with another Claude model
The useful product fact is that Claude Sonnet 5 can currently be selected inside Vizify. The page therefore focuses on the access tier, accepted input types, reasoning-effort range, direct App handoff, and limitations that Vizify can verify from its own runtime configuration.
Claude Sonnet 5 exposes five reasoning-effort steps in the current app profile: off, low, medium, high, and xhigh. Medium applies unless a different step is chosen in the model picker before the request is sent. This is the same five-step range as Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Fable 5; it is not the same as Claude Sonnet 4.6, which currently offers four steps without the extra xhigh option.
You can use Claude Sonnet 5 for one request and choose a different available model later. The conversation and artifacts remain in Vizify; only the model selected for the next request changes.
