01What is Claude Haiku 5.5 pricing?

What happened

On 7 October Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 for high-volume, cost-sensitive work such as summarisation, context compaction, database queries and classification, and as a coding sidekick. Claude Code release notes list 1M context at $0.10/$0.50 per million input/output tokens. Sonnet 5.5 cache-read prices were halved at the same time.

Why it matters

Agent systems hand many subtasks to small models, so their price and speed set total cost; GitHub Copilot, AWS and Devin shipped it on day one.
