Claude Sonnet 4.5 example: reading an image into JSON

The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

What is Claude Sonnet 4.5 good for?

The id for Claude Sonnet 4.5 in our API is "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5", served from Anthropic. Context is 1,000,000 tokens; past that you have to summarise the history yourself. A single response can run to 64,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "expensive" band — cheaper than 31 and dearer than 359 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

Capabilities available on this id: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; it takes files such as PDFs as input; it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.

For a back-of-envelope figure: about 8,102 toman per 1,000-word exchange (1,038,658 in, 5,193,290 out, per 1M tokens). It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 103,866 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Ember-1, and Claude Sonnet 4.5 costs about the same, and its context window is smaller. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 12 thousand-word requests on Claude Sonnet 4.5, and every 1,000 toman is about 123 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 6,231,948 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,000,000-token window costs 1,038,658 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (8,102 and 8,102 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 64,000 against 128,000 tokens. On parameters the other takes reasoning_effort, verbosity.

Anthropic has 24 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Claude Haiku 5.5 (batch) at 135 toman per thousand words and the dearest Claude Opus 4.1 at 40,508. Among the less common parameters it accepts max_completion_tokens, top_k — all through the standard request body. It does not support seed, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Nova 2 Lite at 1,000,000 tokens.

What to use it for: work where the quality of the answer matters more than its cost, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
