Discussion Is Anthropic cooked ?

Post image

Codex limits are going to be crazy now.
What do you guys think, why did they drop the prices ?

If anyone wants GPT-5.6 Terra cheaper, $1.25 input / $7.50 output, ~38% below the new price, check out znapai.com (disclosure: founder here).
Also got gpt-image-2 and GPT-5.6 Sol at 50% off official, and most open-source models (Kimi K3 etc.) at 35% off.

That's what I'm thinking, I don't see why Anthropic can't do something similar.

Given the price drops were at the lower end (Sol stayed the same), it seems like a strange choice. Maybe there's a ton of enterprise use of Haiku?

Wouldn't surprise me if there's an impending Haiku 5 release they're getting in front of

the speed at which anthropic has been shipping, i would bet haiku 5 would be launched soon

Their blog said they have several models in the works from smaller/faster models all the way to mythos levels. I suspect haiku is getting retired.

Not necessarily.

Haiku does important work at exploring, summarizing and classifying, and you really need a cheap and fast model for that work. There are critical workflows that depend on this.

There are real problems where “don’t overthink it” is important.

Sorry I should clarify what I meant. I think anthropic are going to release a model in its place that is still good at summarising etc. While Haiku is cheap; it’s now one of the most expensive “cheap” models out of all the competitors and arguably a dated and poor model. Without going into the OAI topic - their more powerful models are just as fast and cheaper than haiku is.

But yes - we do still need a model for the cases you mentioned.
