"textContent": "**TL;DR** — Claude Sonnet 5 is best treated as an agent workflow model. See specs, setup steps, guardrails, examples, and review checks for safer production use today.\n\nThe gist, in a few bullets:\n\n * Use it first on bounded workflows where planning, tool use, and review checkpoints matter more than one-shot text generation\n * Recheck token budgets before migration: Anthropic's Platform Docs say the model has a 1M token context window and 128k max output tokens, while the new tokenizer produces approximately 30% more tokens for the same input text\n * Keep tool permissions narrow until the workflow passes evaluation on real examples, including failure cases and rollback checks\n * Measure review burden, latency, token spend, skipped steps, and unsupported claims, not only final answer quality\n * Move to production only when human review effort decreases without increasing customer, revenue, compliance, or infrastructure risk\n\n\n\nI put the full walkthrough — examples, trade-offs, and the review checklist — on Van Data Team → Claude Sonnet 5: a practical guide for production teams\n\n_How are you handling this in your own stack? Keen to hear what's working (or not)._",
