100-word summary
Anthropic hasn't confirmed Claude Sonnet 5 exists, but leaks and test logs suggest it's coming soon. The rumored standout feature: Dev Team Mode, which would let Claude spawn specialized sub-agents that research, code, and test in parallel. Think one AI splitting into a small team that tackles different parts of your project simultaneously. Reports also describe a 1M-token context window, meaning you could feed it an entire codebase or a book-length document in one go. If the leaks hold true and Sonnet 5 delivers Opus-level smarts at Sonnet speed and cost, expect companies to rethink which models they use for complex work.
