Measured Coverage and Estimates
Sonnet 5 has 27 of 39 tracked IQ benchmark inputs across 7 of 7 dimensions. Raw benchmark tables contain source-backed results only. Derived IQ combines all six dimensions using the shared scoring methodology, including estimates where direct coverage is incomplete. Configured predecessor references: Sonnet 4.6. A reference is an estimation input, not evidence that this model has the predecessor's measured results.
Among dimensions with direct benchmark coverage, this profile's highest estimated scores are Mathematical Reasoning (IQ 133) and Programmatic Reasoning (IQ 131). These dimension estimates can include statistical adjustments or predecessor priors; they are not raw benchmark percentages or claims of real-world task success.
Benchmark versions, evaluation harnesses, and coverage affect comparisons; a missing result is not a score of zero. See the scoring methodology for estimation and uncertainty limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the IQ of sonnet-5?
- sonnet-5 has an estimated IQ of 125, which ranks #26 out of 160 public models on the AI IQ leaderboard. The score combines seven equally weighted reasoning dimensions using measured benchmark results and conservative estimates for missing coverage.
- What is the EQ of sonnet-5?
- sonnet-5 has an estimated EQ of 117. EQ measures emotional reasoning — how well a model reads and responds to emotional context — and is scored separately from IQ.
- How much does sonnet-5 cost?
- sonnet-5 costs $2.00 per million input tokens and $10.00 per million output tokens. Adjusted for how many tokens it actually consumes on real tasks, its effective cost works out to $37.47 per million input-plus-output tokens.
- Is sonnet-5 open source?
- No — sonnet-5 is a proprietary model. Its weights are not publicly available, so it is used through hosted APIs and products.
- When was sonnet-5 released?
- sonnet-5 was publicly released on June 30, 2026.
- How large is the context window of sonnet-5?
- sonnet-5 supports a context window of 1,000,000 tokens — the amount of text it can consider in a single request.
- How fast is sonnet-5?
- In independent measurements, sonnet-5 generates about 86 tokens per second, with a typical response time of about 236 seconds.
