Claude Haiku 5.5 launches as a fast, low-cost small model, and Max and Team plans gain monthly API credits
AIAnthropic launched Claude Haiku 5.5, which it describes as the cheapest, fastest, and most capable small model it has released, aimed at high-volume, cost-sensitive tasks. Max and Team plans now include monthly API credits for running their own apps and agents on the Claude Platform, rolling out over a few days. Users claim the credits by linking a Claude Console organization in Settings > Billing for Max or Organization settings > Billing for Team.
Why it matters: The notes name a new small model and a credit change for Max and Team plans, with the claim path, which matters for teams budgeting API use.
