Claude Sonnet 5 matches Opus performance at lower cost, now available via API

0
·1 views

Anthropic has launched Claude Sonnet 5, which matches Opus 4.8 on coding and agentic benchmarks while carrying the same pricing as its predecessor, Sonnet 4.6, at $2/$10 per million input/output tokens. The launch rate is available through August 31, after which pricing steps up to $3/$15 per million tokens. The model replaces Sonnet 4.6 as the default reasoning tier across Anthropic's plans and brings improved long-context handling, document parsing, and multi-step agentic task completion. Early users report that agent workflows that previously stalled mid-loop are now completing end-to-end, representing a reliability improvement beyond incremental benchmark gains. Sonnet 5 is accessible via the Anthropic API and Vercel AI Gateway, with Anthropic describing the migration from Sonnet 4.6 as a minimal, low-risk change.

MLCC Lead Times Surge in 2026 as AI, EVs, and Renewables Strain Supply

Multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) lead times have stretched significantly in 2026, with high-density and automotive-grade parts now facing waits of up to 30 weeks or more. Three converging demand drivers are responsible: AI server infrastructure requiring hundreds of decoupling capacitors per board, growing EV production pulling from a narrow pool of automotive-qualified suppliers, and renewable energy projects consuming high-voltage inductors. Supply cannot respond quickly because new passive component production lines take 12 to 24 months to come online after a capital decision, unlike semiconductor fabs that can reallocate capacity faster. Engineers can reduce exposure by specifying component parameter ranges rather than single manufacturer SKUs, avoiding over-specified tolerances, and preferring standard case sizes with multiple second sources. Flagging single-source or long-lead parts during design review — rather than after the BOM is frozen — is among the most cost-effective ways to prevent shortage-related production delays.

Developer Builds Free Resume Download Tool After Frustration With Paywalled Builders

A developer created Resumship, a free resume builder, after being frustrated by platforms that charge users to download their completed resumes. The tool allows users to build and download resumes at no cost, addressing a common pain point in the resume-building space. The creator is now seeking community feedback to guide future feature development, including possible AI-powered resume suggestions. Users are invited to try the platform at resumship.com and submit bug reports, feature requests, or general feedback. The developer says all input will directly shape what gets built into the platform next.

How to Fix RabbitMQ Management UI Breaking Behind an Nginx Reverse Proxy

Placing RabbitMQ's Management UI behind an Nginx reverse proxy under a /rabbitmq/ path causes queue detail pages and API calls to break silently. The root cause is that Nginx decodes the URL-encoded forward slash %2F into a literal slash before forwarding requests, corrupting API paths that RabbitMQ uses to reference its default virtual host. Common fixes like merge_slashes off or rewrite directives fail because they still operate on the decoded $uri variable. The solution is to use $request_uri inside an if block for API location blocks, since this variable preserves the raw, undecoded URI exactly as the client sent it. Static assets and general UI routes can be handled separately with a standard rewrite-based proxy block that does not require raw URI preservation.
