US tech startup Anthropic unveils cheaper model to widen AI's appeal
Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic has overhauled its smallest AI model, Haiku, as companies increasingly opt for AI systems that are nearly as capable as the most advanced tools – but come at a fraction of the cost.Anthropic said on Wednesday that the updated model, called Haiku 4.5, is about one-th
Anthropic is giving away its powerful Claude Haiku 4.5 AI for free to take on OpenAI
Anthropic released Claude Haiku 4.5 on Wednesday, a smaller and significantly cheaper artificial intelligence model that matches the coding capabilities of systems that were considered cutting-edge just months ago, marking the latest salvo in an intensifying competition to dominate enterprise AI.The model costs $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens — roughly one-third the price of Anthropic's mid-sized Sonnet 4 model relea…
Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5 matches May’s frontier model at fraction of cost
On Wednesday, Anthropic released Claude Haiku 4.5, a small AI language model that reportedly delivers performance similar to what its frontier model Claude Sonnet 4 achieved five months ago but at one-third the cost and more than twice the speed. The new model is available now to all Claude app, web, and API users. If the benchmarks for Haiku 4.5 reported by Anthropic hold up to independent testing, the fact that the company can match some capab…
