Anthropic Launches New Version Of Scaled-Down ‘Haiku’ Model
Anthropic launches new version of scaled-down ‘Haiku’ model, introducing Claude Haiku 4.5, the company’s most efficient AI yet. The new release promises performance similar to Sonnet 4, but at one-third the cost and more than twice the speed, according to Anthropic’s official blog post.

A Faster, Smarter, More Affordable AI Model
The updated Claude Haiku 4.5 aims to bridge the gap between speed and intelligence. Anthropic’s internal tests show Haiku scoring 73% on SWE-Bench verified and 41% on Terminal-Bench, placing it alongside top-tier models like Sonnet 4, GPT-5, and Gemini 2.5 in tool use, computer use, and visual reasoning benchmarks.
This makes the new version of Haiku a strong contender for developers and businesses seeking efficient AI performance without the heavy computational costs of larger models.
Designed For Scalability And Real-World Deployment
Anthropic notes that the new version of Haiku will be available across all free Anthropic plans, making it a great fit for free-tier AI products. Its lightweight design allows faster deployment, parallel processing, and smoother integration with other models — perfect for large-scale or hybrid AI systems.
Developers can now run multiple Haiku agents at once or pair them with more powerful models like Sonnet 4.5 for complex tasks. This flexibility enhances efficiency while reducing server strain.
Anthropic’s Vision: Smarter AI Agent Ecosystems
In a statement, Anthropic’s CPO Mike Krieger highlighted the model’s potential to transform AI deployment in production environments.
“It’s opening up entirely new categories of what’s possible with AI in production — with Sonnet handling complex planning while Haiku-powered sub-agents execute at speed,” Krieger said.
This update underscores Anthropic’s broader strategy: creating an agent ecosystem where each model — from Haiku to Sonnet — plays a specific role in delivering optimal performance, cost-effectiveness, and speed.
Why This Matters
With the launch of the new scaled-down Haiku model, Anthropic continues to position itself as a leading innovator in efficient, accessible AI. By optimizing for speed, cost, and scalability, the company is targeting both developers and enterprises looking to expand AI capabilities without breaking budgets.
As AI models evolve toward modular, task-specific systems, Claude Haiku 4.5 sets the tone for a new generation of lightweight, production-ready AI agents.
