Anthropic · Efficient
Claude Haiku 4.5
Anthropic's fast, cheap tier. The right choice for classification, extraction and the reading-heavy legwork in a multi-agent setup where a frontier model would be waste.
Model ID: claude-haiku-4-5
What that means
A worked example
Per-token pricing is hard to feel. Take a moderately chatty production workload: 100 calls a day, roughly 10,000 tokens in and 2,000 out each time. On Claude Haiku 4.5 that comes to about:
$60 / month
Before caching, batching or volume discounts, all of which move this number a long way. Illustrative only.
