Our take
editorial — not a measurementHaiku is a candidate for classification, extraction and routing within a Claude-based stack. Check the exact context and output limits in the specification table before using it for large documents. Neither the family name nor an unsourced latency superlative establishes that it is the fastest or the right choice for a general assistant.
Strengths
- Tool use and reasoning support are listed
- Cache and batch pricing are recorded
Weaknesses
- Check both the context window and the output ceiling against the workload
- Safety behaviour and latency need task-specific evaluation
Reach for it when
- Classification and extraction evaluations
- Routing or triage ahead of a larger model
Avoid it if
- The required prompt or output exceeds the recorded limits
- The decision depends on a latency claim you have not tested
Claude Haiku 4.5 is Anthropic’s fastest and most efficient model, delivering near-frontier intelligence at a fraction of the cost and latency of larger Claude models. Matching Claude Sonnet 4’s performance...
