Anthropic lanceert Claude Haiku 5.5 met nieuwe prijsstructuur

As previously promised , here's Anthropic's new fast, low cost model: Introducing Claude Haiku 5.5 . The previous Haiku, 4.5, was very much showing its age. It came out almost a year ago , and was priced at $1/million input and $5/million output - relatively expensive even back then, and a full 10x the price of OpenAI's GPT-6 Luna , released last month. The new Haiku exactly matches the price of GPT-6 Luna - $0.10/$0.50 - up to 100,000 tokens. Beyond 100,000 tokens the price increases 5x to $0.50/$2.50. Luna itself has a price increase at 272,000 tokens but only to $0.20/$0.75. Haiku 5.5 also uses a new, less generous tokenizer. My Claude Token Counter tool shows that the same long prompt uses around 1.25x as many tokens with Haiku 5.5 compared to Haiku 4.5, so there's a hidden price increase there. If your workloads fit in 100,000 tokens, Haiku is the same price as Luna and reports higher benchmark scores. Above 100,000 tokens, Luna looks like a much better deal. The most recent release of llm-anthropic finally fixed it so I don't need to ship a new version of that plugin for every new model. I tested the new model like this: llm install -U llm-anthropic llm anthropic refresh llm -m claude-haiku-5.5 "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" -o thinking_effort low Pelicans Here are pelicans for low, medium, high, xhigh, and max . The new Haiku doesn't let you disable reasoning, and defaults to medium . I got a good bicycle frame for everything beyond low . The low effort pelican cost 0.0936 cents and took 7 seconds. This max effort pelican took 5 minutes 9 seconds to generate, but still only cost me 3.3826 cents : For comparison, here's the pelican I got a year ago from Haiku 4.5. It sucked at drawing pelicans: And a generous API credit scheme for subscribers In addition to Haiku 5.5, Anthropic announced today that they are halving the price of cache reads for Sonnet 5.5. They've also added API credits to subscription plans: Second, this week, we’ll roll out a
