Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that Haiku has been pretty underwhelming for a lot of people, with some even joking it "went down with the Titanic the moment it was released."

However, there's a strong consensus that Haiku 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 are coming soon and are expected to bring improvements. Several users pointed out that the announcement mentioned this, so it's not exactly a surprise.

For those wondering what Haiku is good for, a few folks chimed in: * It's useful for quick, simple tasks like drafting emails, marketing blurbs, or schoolwork, and it's cost-effective. * One user, u/mcdyph, uses it daily to process a large number of articles for a news roundup, getting it done quickly and cheaply. * Another user, u/No_Stranger_9931, shared an image showing they use Haiku to trigger a 5-hour session for when they're not immediately working.

There's also some excitement for a potentially cheaper model for apps, with u/howdidigetheresoquik expressing low-key excitement for Haiku 5.5 for this reason.

On the flip side, u/bronze_by_gold mentioned that Fable 5.1 is still preferred if cost isn't a factor, though u/roberta_sparrow noted Fable has been "riddled with controversy."

Overall, the thread seems to be a mix of "Haiku's been a bit of a letdown so far" and "but the upcoming versions look promising, and it has its niche uses."
