#Anthropic

AIEpoch gave six models 11 real work tasks from its own operations, including graphic design, data insights, and research design, and graded outputs against employee standards. Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra led on average task performance, reliably handling well-defined work such as coding and computational analysis. The report finds that all models still fail on open-ended judgment, including matching Epoch's standards, designing informative experiments, and generating diverse ideas, so the authors conclude AI cannot yet replace workers at Epoch.

Why it matters: The report separates well-defined task reliability from open-ended judgment failures, which benchmark scores on easily verifiable tasks would miss.

AIOpenAI is gaining ground on Anthropic as the AI price war intensifies. Both companies need to show Wall Street they have sustainable businesses ahead of planned IPOs.

AICat Wu, who works at Anthropic, says a favorite product manager use case for Claude is asking who used a given feature most last week. She suggests having Claude build an artifact of the top 10 users by usage, then reaching out to schedule 15-minute chats, which she calls the fastest way to get user feedback.

AIAnthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5, which it calls the fastest, cheapest, and most capable Haiku model so far. On average it costs about 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5, with input at $0.10 and output at $0.50 per million tokens for requests up to 100,000 tokens. Anthropic also cut Sonnet 5.5's cache read price from $0.20 to $0.10 per million tokens, which it says lowers run costs by about 20% on many agent tasks.

AIAnthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 is available on Databricks from day zero, which Databricks calls its cheapest, fastest, and most capable small model. On Databricks' OfficeQA Pro V1 benchmark, it delivers about 15% higher quality than Haiku 4.5 at a fraction of the cost. Users can run it alongside 60+ other models on data already in Databricks, with Unity Gateway handling governance, monitoring, and security.

AIDeveloper Brandon Thomas's Artcraft has launched seven open source apps in Rust that aim to replicate the interfaces and tools of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat Pro. Thomas said he used Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 to build the clean-room replacements, with WebAssembly versions available for browser use. The apps remain in a "super early alpha" state, and commenters have pointed out many current shortcomings.

AIA $200 Claude subscription can deliver about $12,000 of Opus 5.5 tokens at API pricing, according to comments quoted in the post. The post argues that when comparing against ChatGPT's subscription, the value gap is not close.

AICognition's X post links to a blog post at devin.ai about Claude Haiku 5.5, but the text provides no further details. The post itself offers no benchmark scores, prices, or capabilities to report.

AIClaude Haiku 5.5 is now available in Devin, scoring 58.4% on FrontierCode 1.1, ahead of Sonnet 5 at about one-eighth the cost per task. It can also serve as a sidekick model in Fusion, paired with Opus 5.5 as the Lead in Devin Desktop and CLI.

AIClaude Haiku 5.5 is now available on OpenDocRouter, priced at roughly $1.2 per 1k pages. The post says it performs well on tables and text reading order at that price point, but struggles with charts, semantic formatting, and bounding boxes.

AIPresident Trump announced a White House-led "Super Intelligence Force" that will spend 120 days examining AI risks and federal responses, and signed an executive order directing agencies to use "Super Intelligence" and "SI" instead of "Artificial Intelligence" and "AI." The order asks officials to develop a possible new federal definition within 60 days, but the source says the change is linguistic rather than architectural. Critics quoted in the article argue that renaming does not change the technology itself.

AISimon Willison published notes on the pricing of Claude Haiku 5.5, alongside his pelican illustration tests. The post links to his full write-up for details.

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.

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.

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.

AIZvi Mowshowitz argues that relying on current AI to automate its own alignment work is a near-suicidal plan, noting that no one has a better one. He reports that labs fear they cannot even execute the first step, and that the third annual The Curve conference was held under Chatham House rules.

AIMatt Shumer says a setup pairing Opus or Sonnet with Haiku sub-agents is very likely the new alpha and that he plans to try it. The quoted Anthropic post introduces Claude Haiku 5.5 as its cheapest, fastest, and most capable small model, costing around 75% less to run than Claude Haiku 4.5.

AIClaude 5.5 Haiku is now available in OpenCode and Go. The post does not give further details about features, pricing, or availability limits.

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.

AIAnthropic is introducing monthly API credits for Max and Team plan subscribers, according to the linked support article. The main post provides no further details on pricing, credit amounts, or how the credits will function.

AIAnthropic says Claude subscriptions will receive monthly API credits based on plan tier, with Max 20x users getting $200 each month. The Python and TypeScript SDKs are also adding computer use and browser use support, currently in beta.

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.

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.

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.
