Anthropic Launches Claude Haiku 5.5, Its Fastest and Most Affordable AI Model
Anthropic has launched Claude Haiku 5.5, its fastest, cheapest, and most capable small AI model designed for high-volume, cost-sensitive tasks like summarization, classification, and live customer support. The model costs about 75% less than its predecessor Haiku 4.5 for typical prompt lengths and offers adjustable effort settings to balance cost and intelligence. It features improved performance, stricter cybersecurity safeguards, and integrates well with other Claude 5.5 models. The launch expands Anthropic's AI lineup ahead of a planned IPO.
