Claude Haiku 5.5 makes short jobs cheaper
Anthropic's small model costs $0.10 per million input tokens for prompts up to 100,000 tokens. Anthropic says a typical job costs about 75% less than on Haiku 4.5.
Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, a small, fast model for high-volume work such as summaries, classification, database queries and helper agents. It is the first Haiku model with an adjustable effort setting, so users can choose between lower cost and more capability.
Anthropic says Haiku 5.5 costs around 75 percent less to run than Haiku 4.5 on average, at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100,000 tokens. It also says the larger Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5 remain the better choice for complex coding tasks.
Haiku 5.5 is available as claude-haiku-5-5 on the Claude Platform and through Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. Anthropic also halved the cache-read price for Sonnet 5.5 and is rolling out monthly API credits for Max and Team subscribers.
