Claude Haiku 5.5
AI-generated overview
Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5, a fast, low‑cost model that matches GPT‑6 Luna’s pricing for prompts up to 100,000 tokens and outperforms it on benchmarks. The new model uses a less generous tokenizer, increasing token counts by about 1.25×, which raises costs for larger prompts. Anthropic also halved cache‑read prices for Sonnet 5.5 and introduced API credits that match subscription costs, easing billing concerns. OpenAI’s Codex subscription remains a better deal for heavy API users. The article presents these changes as a competitive pricing strategy aimed at attracting cost‑sensitive customers.
