A What it is for

Caveats: 200K context, no effort parameter, and it still uses old-style manual extended thinking with budget_tokens rather than adaptive. Alias claude-haiku-4-5.

At a three-to-one input-to-output ratio, Claude Haiku 4.5 costs $2.00 per million tokens blended. A workload of one million input and 330,000 output tokens per day would run about $79.50 per month at list price, before caching or batch discounts.
