What is Claude Haiku 5.5?
Use claude-haiku-5-5 for this version; claude-haiku-4-5 is a different model. The important billing boundary is 100,000 input tokens per request. Longer requests use the second tier for input, output and caching, so a monthly total alone does not determine cost. Compare the complete tier table before budgeting document processing, chat or coding workloads. API access requires a funded API balance.
Works with the OpenAI SDKs, LangChain, Cursor, Cline and any tool that accepts a custom base URL.
Streaming, tools and structured output depend on the model and upstream channel. Check the required feature on your channel before production use.
The rates come from Crazyrouter's billing table; discounts vary by model.
Compare against Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and more without juggling vendor accounts.
Claude Haiku 5.5 API quickstart

}'Check the Haiku version and request size
Use claude-haiku-5-5, not the older claude-haiku-4-5 ID. The catalogue lists both Messages and Chat Completions. For document processing, test extraction accuracy and missing-field handling on a small labelled set before increasing batch size; this page does not claim a measured speed or accuracy advantage.
Suggested evaluation request
This request is a reproducible starting point, not a recorded model output or benchmark. API calls require a funded balance. Check errors, output fields and usage on your own account.
