Anthropic has announced the launch of Claude Haiku 5.5, which has made a significant leap in performance, increasing its score on the OSWorld computer use test from 15.7% to 72.4%. Data indicates that token prices have dropped by up to 90%, although the new tokenizer consumes more tokens per task, impacting some of those savings.
