Anthropic has officially confirmed that Claude Sonnet 5's introductory pricing will be permanent. The model launched in June with a limited-time rate of $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens – originally set to expire on August 31. These prices will now remain in effect indefinitely.

What this means
Locking in the introductory pricing reflects Anthropic's confidence in the model and may offer planning certainty for German enterprises deploying Claude Sonnet 5 in production. However, it remains unclear whether Anthropic will extend similar pricing structures to other Claude models or if this is a one-off decision.
