Anthropic has introduced the discharge of Claude Haiku 4.5, which offers related coding efficiency to Claude Sonnet 4, however is twice as quick and one-third as costly.
This follows the discharge of Claude Sonnet 4.5 two weeks in the past, which Anthropic claimed as “the perfect coding mannequin on this planet” when it was introduced. Claude Haiku 4.5 outperforms Sonnet 4 on SWE-bench, however falls second behind Sonnet 4.5.
“Claude Sonnet 4.5, launched two weeks in the past, stays our frontier mannequin and the perfect coding mannequin on this planet. Claude Haiku 4.5 provides customers a brand new choice for when they need near-frontier efficiency with a lot higher cost-efficiency,” Anthropic wrote in a publish.
The corporate defined that these two fashions can be utilized collectively to get the perfect of every, comparable to utilizing Sonnet 4.5 to interrupt down a fancy drawback into a number of steps after which having a number of Haiku 4.5 situations working collectively to execute these subtasks in parallel.
In accordance with Anthropic, Haiku 4.5 excels at real-time, low-latency duties, comparable to chat assistants, customer support brokers, and pair programming.
It should value $1 per million enter tokens and $5 per million output tokens. For comparability, Claude Sonnet 4 and 4.5 value $3 per million enter tokens and $15 per million output tokens.
Claude Haiku 4.5 is out there now in Claude Code and different Anthropic apps, in addition to by the API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI.
