Anthropic’s 3.5 Haiku model comes to Claude users

Apps



Anthropic has released one of its newest AI models, Claude 3.5 Haiku, for users of its AI chatbot platform, Claude.

Reports of 3.5 Haiku’s launch in Claude began rolling in Thursday morning on social media, and TechCrunch was able to independently confirm that the model is available in Claude on the web and mobile.

3.5 Haiku, which Anthropic unveiled in November, matches or bests the performance of Anthropic’s outgoing flagship model, 3 Opus, on specific benchmarks. Anthropic says 3.5 Haiku is particularly well-suited for coding recommendations, data extraction and labeling, and content moderation.

3.5 Haiku can also output longer chunks of text than 3 Haiku, its predecessor, and the model has an updated knowledge cutoff, meaning it can reference more recent events.

This model doesn’t support image analysis, however, making it less capable than Anthropic’s other available models, 3 Haiku and 3.5 Sonnet, in at least one key aspect.

3.5 Haiku become the subject of minor controversy when it arrived in Anthropic’s API early last month. Anthropic initially suggested that 3.5 Haiku would cost the same as 3 Haiku, but then changed its tune, arguing that the model’s increased “intelligence” warranted a higher API cost.
