Anthropic Releases Claude Haiku 5.5: ~75% Price Cut and Launch on AWS

On October 8, 2026, Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5, the first Haiku-tier model update in about a year. The new model's average price is about 75% lower than Haiku 4.5, with prompts under 100,000 tokens discounted by up to 90%, priced at $0.10 per million input tokens / $0.50 output — matching GPT-6 Luna — but that price only applies to prompts up to 100,000 tokens, after which it rises 5x to $0.50/$2.50. It is also the first Haiku-tier model to offer adjustable reasoning levels. The same day, Anthropic also lowered the cache-read price for Sonnet 5.5. According to the AWS Machine Learning Blog, Claude Haiku 5.5 is now available on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. On performance, Latent Space reported that the model scored 43 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, beating GPT-6 Luna (38) and GLM-5.3 Flash (42).
