Anthropic upgrades Claude with new Haiku 5.5 model, details here

Anthropic’s Haiku 5.5 meaningfully lowers the cost of deploying Claude for high-volume, repetitive, and latency-sensitive workflows, with the company claiming about 75% lower run costs than Haiku 4.5. For CIOs, this improves the economics of scaling AI into customer support, summarization, classification, database querying, and agentic coding workflows, while the broader pricing changes to Sonnet 5.5 and added API credits signal Anthropic is pushing customers toward more production use across its model stack. IT organizations should see this as an opportunity to expand AI adoption in operational workflows, especially where speed and unit economics matter, but also to reassess model routing, governance, and usage controls across multi-model deployments.
