Verified strengths and model characteristics.
Designed for frequent, latency-sensitive tasks, with lower pricing than Claude Haiku 4.5 and stronger coding and knowledge-work performance.
The first Haiku generation with adjustable effort lets developers balance reasoning depth and computational cost per task.
A 1M-token context window accepts text and images, with up to 128K output tokens in standard requests.
Practical workloads supported by official examples.
Classify incoming records, extract relevant fields, and route requests to the appropriate workflow.
Summarize documents and condense agent histories into concise context for subsequent work.
Delegate focused coding or document-reading subtasks while a larger model coordinates the overall project.

Model selection, limitations, and access.
Anthropic’s small model targets high-volume, latency-sensitive work, combining adaptive reasoning with text and image understanding.
Choose it for classification, extraction, summaries, live support, and narrow subagent tasks where response time and repeated-call cost matter.
Anthropic recommends larger models for complex agentic coding. Higher effort can increase cost and latency; prompts above 100K tokens also enter a higher pricing tier.
Use the identifier and endpoint documented by TokenHub after confirming access. Anthropic’s direct API ID is claude-haiku-5-5; do not assume it matches a TokenHub alias.
Anthropic lists $0.10 input/$0.50 output per million tokens for prompts up to 100K tokens, and $0.50/$2.50 above that threshold. TokenHub rates may differ.

Claude ·
Haiku 5.5 is designed for high-volume, cost-sensitive tasks. It reliably handles repetitive work like summaries and classification, and pairs well with Claude Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 as a subagent on coding work. It’s also fast enough for live customer support and browser use.

Is Haiku 5.5 good enough to be your main coding agent, not just the cheap one? I ran a small controlled test

I tested Claude Haiku 5.5 at low, medium and high effort against Sonnet 5.5 (medium), GPT-6 Luna (high) and GPT-6.1 Sol (medium). The tasks came from a real mid-sized, mixed-language codebase (Rust core plus a legacy scripting layer). The tasks: two Rust bug fixes from vague bug reports a code review with 9 planted bugs and 2 decoys two Rust implementations from tricky specs a "judgement" task, where the bug report blamed the wrong thing and asked for a fix that would make it worse, and one requirement was deliberately ambiguous an agentic task in the real repo: move some logic across a language boundary following the repo's unwritten conventions I wrote the answer keys and hidden tests before any model ran. The surprise: on the well-specified tasks every model scored 100%. Haiku-low missed one compile error in the review, and Luna asserted its own reading of the ambiguous requirement where the others flagged it, but that was it. Self-contained coding tasks just don't separate current models any more. The agentic task is where they separated. Haiku at medium did as well as Sonnet: correct code, all tests passing, the repo conventions followed, an honest note on what it couldn't verify, and it raised a real design trade-off on its own. It made 29 API requests and cost about $0.08, against Sonnet's 30 requests and about $1.68 at list prices. The other effort levels did worse: Low got working code, but skipped verification, missed an error-handling fallback, and invented a reason for not testing ("the build stalled for over an hour" in a run that took 15 minutes). High was correct, but burned 385 requests and about $1.03 for no quality gain. My takeaway: Haiku 5.5 at medium is viable as a general daily coding agent, not only for low-stakes work, at roughly a twentieth of Sonnet's cost. Avoid low effort for agent work, high effort buys nothing, and I'd still use a bigger model for high-stakes release work.
