Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, a high-speed AI model that the company says reduces running costs by 75% compared with its predecessor. The launch adds a lower-cost, faster option to the Claude model family, aimed at workloads where speed and cost efficiency matter more than maximum reasoning capability.
Claude Haiku 5.5 is positioned as Anthropic's fast, economical tier. The company says the model lowers execution costs by 75%, making it suited to high-volume applications such as customer service, large-scale text processing, and latency-sensitive products.
The release follows Anthropic's practice of offering models across capability and price tiers, allowing developers to select smaller models for routine tasks while reserving larger models for more complex work.
The model is being rolled out through Anthropic's standard access channels, including its API, for developers building on the Claude platform. Details on benchmark results or long-term availability were not included in the announcement.
The claim that Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 with 75% lower running costs is True.
