Claude Haiku
AnthropicAnthropic's small, fast Claude tier, built for high-volume low-latency coding and chat where cost and speed matter more than peak reasoning. Sits beneath Sonnet and Opus. Tracked as a tier rather than a point release, with the measured release named in the score note. Closed weights, available through the Anthropic API and the Claude apps.
Tier product, currently shipping Haiku 4.5. Renamed from claude-haiku-4-5 so the slug survives the next generation.
