We recommend migrating to Claude Sonnet 5.5. Read more in Model deprecations.++### September 28, 2026++- We've launched Claude Sonnet 5.5 (`claude-sonnet-5-5`). It's available on the Claude API, Claude in Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Claude on Google Cloud, and Claude in Microsoft Foundry. For its context window, output limits, and prices, see the Claude Sonnet 5.5 model page.+- Code written for Claude Sonnet 5 can break on Claude Sonnet 5.5 in five ways. To turn off up-front thinking, send `thinking: {"type": "between_tools"}` instead of `"disabled"`, at `high` effort or below. Forced tool use (`tool_choice` types `any` and `tool`) returns a 400 error. Thinking blocks are tied to the model and the conversation. On the Claude API and Google Cloud, the earlier `computer_20251124` computer use tool isn't accepted. The advisor tool rejects Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Opus 4.7, and Claude Sonnet 5 as advisors. See What's new in Claude Sonnet 5.5 for each change and the migration guide for before-and-after requests. For model-specific prompting patterns, see Prompting Claude Sonnet 5.5.+- Thinking blocks that Claude Sonnet 5.5 produces work only in the account that produced them, or in an account linked to it. When another account sends one of these blocks, the API drops the block before the model sees it, and the request succeeds. Blocks from earlier models aren't affected.

The `anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13` header is no longer required on group and custom-role requests; requests that still send it are accepted unchanged. See User management. - You can now restrict which sites a Claude Managed Agents agent's `web_search` and `web_fetch` tools can reach. Set `allowed_domains` or `blocked_domains` on the tool's entry in the `agent_toolset_20260401` `configs` array; `web_fetch` also accepts `max_content_tokens` and `web_search` accepts `user_location`. Each `configs` entry is identified by its `name` and typed by an optional `type`, and requests that pass only `name`, `enabled`, and `permission_policy` continue to work; in the typed SDKs, `configs` entries become per-tool types. See Restrict web search and web fetch domains.-- Claude Managed Agents sessions that run in a self-hosted sandbox can now attach memory stores.

The Python, TypeScript, and Go SDK workers download each attached store into the sandbox at its `mount_path` and sync the agent's changes back to the store. See Memory stores in self-hosted sandboxes. - The session viewer in the Claude Console has been redesigned with a timeline minimap, a transcript grouped by model request, and an Inspector panel for session details and cost, raw events, per-tool statistics, mounted resources, and per-thread activity.
