Funny how AI updates interrupt actual work.

I was working on my social media automation project today when Claude Code looked different. New model: Sonnet 4.5.

Despite being tired of AI hype, I had to search what this meant. Anthropic's pitch: best coding model in the world, strongest for complex agents, best at computer use, major reasoning and math gains.

Context matters here: I already use Claude SDK for Python agents successfully, so this update is relevant to me.

First impression from limited testing: different personality. Sonnet 4.5 asks before making changes. The previous Sonnet 4 was a wild coder, just executed changes. I frequently had to tell it: hey, I only want to ask a question, let's think first, code only when I approve. Sound fair?

This consultative approach feels more like Opus 4.1, which costs significantly more. Interesting shift in AI behavior.
