Another amazing Claude model just came out — blazing fast

Anthropic just released another incredible coding model — and the speed is unbelievable.

The new Claude Haiku 4.5 gives you all the intelligence of Sonnet 4.5 at only a fraction of the cost.

It's leaner, it's faster, it's cheaper — and it even comes with a brand new feature never seen before in this line of models.

Haiku 4.5 is built for pure speed. Speed is what this is all about.

This model is perfect for anything needing a real-time response — chat assistants, customer service bots, or coding copilots.

IDEs like Cursor have already added support for it — to make your development even smoother with quicker responses.

Being significantly faster than Sonnet 4.5 definitely makes for a much snappier user experience. Near-premium performance for much less.

This is a model that can be deployed at massive scale — making powerful AI more accessible for anyone looking to manage costs — even powering free-tier user experiences.

And the new Extended Thinking ability makes it even better.

With Extended Thinking you can boost complex reasoning and get even better accuracy with your coding — thinking harder to handle multi-step problems that would have previously required a slower, larger model like Sonnet.

Haiku 4.5 even supports Computer Use — which means it can autonomously use your PC to carry out complex tasks:
