ANTH

Anthropic has cut the cache read price for Sonnet 5.5 from $0.20 to $0.10 and added monthly API credits for its Max plans. The company also priced its Haiku 5.5 model at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, a significant reduction compared to Haiku 4.5.

Anthropic's new Claude Haiku 5.5 crushes its predecessor in benchmarks, jumping from 15.7 to 72.4 percent on the OSWorld computer use test. Token prices drop by up to 90 percent, though a new tokenizer eats into some of those savings by consuming more tokens per task.
