Claude Sonnet 5.5 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 5.5 good for?

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is one of Anthropic's models. Put "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5" in the model field and the rest of your code stays as it is. Claude Sonnet 5.5 keeps 1,000,000 tokens in view at once, and that number is what caps the conversation history in your product. A single response can run to 128,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "expensive" band — cheaper than 52 and dearer than 319 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What you get on top of text in, text out: 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.

Input runs at 692,439 toman per 1M tokens and output at 3,462,194 — output costs 5× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 34,622 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 Gemini 2.5 Pro: Claude Sonnet 5.5 works out about 10% more expensive, 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 19 thousand-word requests on Claude Sonnet 5.5, and every 1,000 toman is about 185 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 4,154,632 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,000,000-token window costs 692,439 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

This id gets confused with "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5:batch", because the underlying model is the same. The difference is the suffix: no suffix (the standard variant) against "batch". On a thousand-word request this variant works out about 2× more expensive (5,401 against 2,701 toman). On parameters, this one takes max_completion_tokens.

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, reasoning_effort, verbosity — all through the standard request body. It does not support temperature, top_p, 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.

Where it makes sense: 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.
