Anthropic releases cheaper Claude Haiku 5.5 across major clouds and GitHub Copilot
Overview
Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, its cheapest and fastest small model, now generally available on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry and GitHub Copilot. Anthropic says it costs about 75 percent less on average than Haiku 4.5, at $0.10 per million input and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100K tokens, rising to $0.50 and $2.50 above that. Requests with non-default temperature, top_p or top_k values return a 400 error. Benchmark claims differ by source. Artificial Analysis scores it 43 on its Intelligence Index, ahead of OpenAI's GPT-6 Luna at 38, but says it uses about 3x more output tokens at max effort. Arena says it debuted at #30 in Code Arena WebDev with 1587 points, up 257 from Haiku 4.5. GitHub says early testing showed it matched Claude Sonnet 5 on many coding tasks with fewer tokens and steps. Separately, Anthropic halved the price of Sonnet 5.5 cache reads to $0.10 per million tokens, which it says makes Sonnet 5.5 about 20 percent cheaper on most agentic work.

- 新智元Anthropic releases Claude Haiku 5.5 at a sharply lower price than prior models
Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, priced at one tenth of the previous Haiku 4.5 and one twentieth of Sonnet 5.5. The source excerpt is cut off before listing the full comparison, so the comparison with OpenAI's pricing is not confirmed here.
- ClaudeDevsICYMI we've cut the price of Sonnet 5.5 cache reads in half. In the Claude Platform, it's now $0.10 per million tokens (input is $2, output is $10). This means Sonnet 5.5 now runs ~20% cheaper on most agentic work. (API only, no change to Claude Code usage limits.)

Anthropic 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.
