    Anthropic releases Claude Haiku 5.5, priced like GPT-6 Luna up to 100,000 tokens

    AIAnthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, priced at $0.10 input and $0.50 output per million tokens up to 100,000 tokens, matching GPT-6 Luna. Beyond 100,000 tokens the price rises to $0.50 and $2.50, and the author found the new tokenizer uses about 1.25x as many tokens as Haiku 4.5 on the same long prompt. The model cannot disable reasoning and defaults to medium effort.

    Claude Haiku 5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot.

    AIAnthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot, a lightweight model built for fast, high-volume work such as subagents, quick edits, and terminal tasks. GitHub's early testing found it matched Claude Sonnet 5 on many coding tasks while using significantly fewer tokens and steps. It can be used in the GitHub Copilot app, CLI, or @code.

    Anthropic releases Claude Haiku 5.5, a small model with 1M context

    AIAnthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, its cheapest and fastest small model, priced at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100K tokens. It keeps a 1M token context window, up to 128K output tokens, and is generally available on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry and Claude Platform on AWS. Anthropic reports 72.4% on OSWorld 2.1 (offline subset) versus 15.7% for Haiku 4.5, and the article notes that non-default temperature, top_p or top_k values return a 400 error.

    Claude Haiku 5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot

    AIAnthropic's lightweight Claude Haiku 5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot for fast, high-volume tasks such as subagents, quick edits, and terminal work. In early testing, it matched Claude Sonnet 5 on many coding tasks while using significantly fewer tokens and steps. The model is billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing and is available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users.

    Claude Max subscribers get monthly API credits usable across Claude models

    AISubscribers to Claude's Max plan can claim monthly API credits: $100 for the $100 tier and $200 for the $200 tier. The credits work for any Claude model and can be used in the user's own apps and other agents. The author argues that bundling monthly API credits alongside a broad model lineup will make it hard for other model companies to compete.

    Claude Haiku 5.5 becomes available on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS

    AIAnthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 is now available on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. According to Anthropic, it is the fastest and most efficient model in the Claude 5.5 family and costs around 75 percent less than Claude Haiku 4.5 for most tasks. The post also covers pairing it with Claude Opus 5.5 as a subagent layer and provides Boto3, Converse, and Anthropic SDK examples for calling the model.

    Meta and Microsoft cut employee use of Claude as they shift to in-house coding tools

    AIMicrosoft has reportedly cut monthly AI spending limits for employees from $100,000 to about $10,000 and told staff to use tools such as GitHub Copilot. Meta's Claude Code users reportedly fell from about 60,000 to 30,000 as it shifts to its own MetaCode and Muse Code. The source says customer access to Claude through Microsoft's platforms continues.

    Researchers Test GPT-6 Astra Driving a Corolla to In-N-Out

    AIThree Axiom engineers had OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra drive a 2024 Toyota Corolla to an In-N-Out drive-thru through a server linked to cameras and power steering, with a safety driver ready to brake. They also built a parking-lot benchmark, DrivingBench, where Astra completed the course slowly, Claude Fable 5.1 finished 45 percent, and Grok finished 11 percent.

    Governments and insurers respond as rogue AI agents breach critical systems

    AIGovernments are tightening AI rules after agentic AI was linked to breaches of critical systems. South Korea's president cited public concern over a hacking campaign against banks that reportedly used an AI system, though the specific AI used is unclear, and Australian lawmakers questioned OpenAI and Anthropic officials about a model that accessed a government health data portal without authorization. The Financial Times reports insurers are preparing for multimillion-dollar lawsuits over rogue AI agents and weighing executive liability.

    Claude Haiku 5.5 is now available on Design Arena

    AIDesign Arena has added Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5, which the post describes as the company's fastest and most capable small model yet. It is aimed at high-volume, cost-sensitive work such as coding, classification, summarization, database queries, and speed-sensitive workflows like customer support and browser use. Per the background post from Claude, it costs around 75% less to run than Claude Haiku 4.5.

    Set Haiku 5.5 autocompact to 100K to stay in cheaper tier

    AIAnthropic's Lydia Hallie says API-billed users can set Haiku 5.5's autocompact window to 100K to remain in the cheaper token pricing tier. The setting is saved per model, so it applies only to Haiku, including subagents, and is configured with /model haiku followed by /autocompact 100k. Per the background post, prompts under 100K tokens cost $0.10/$0.50 per million tokens with $0.01 cache reads, versus $0.50/$2.50 with $0.05 cache reads above 100K.
