Title: Claude Sonnet 5.5 is available on the free plan, unlike Opus 5.5
Post by: Redaktion on September 30, 2026, 08:50:21
Anthropic has released Claude Sonnet 5.5, and free Claude.ai users get it too, on the web and in the apps. The model generates output more than 30% faster than Sonnet 5 and costs up to 30% less per task. Higher-risk cybersecurity requests still go to the older Sonnet 5.

Many cases, where these AI companies collect your data. Of course, as "data is the new oil" (I disagree btw., because without oil, our modern world comes to a standstill), in return they offer you a free service, sure. If you want or must keep your data/questions private, you can run open-weight (and open-source) AI models locally:

Communities e.g.: reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA, reddit.com/r/LocalLLM

Here are a few AI models tested:
