impressive, I'm a big fan of anthropic and your models, using it on a daily basis
Rohan's note about thinking settings is worth reading twice. When I moved a small agent onto Sonnet 5, responses started coming back with a thinking block first, and my code was reading content[0]. It broke.
If anything of yours reads the first block, pick the text or tool_use block by type before you change the model string.
