Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5: cheap, fast, and graded on its own homework

The new small model is 75% cheaper to run and beats its predecessor on every chart Anthropic published — because Anthropic is the one who drew the charts.

© 2026 NerdBite. Technology, gaming, science and film.

How we source. Stories here start from primary material: advisories, filings, regulator decisions, benchmarks and vendor documentation. Where we learn of something from another publication we treat it as a lead and go back to the original before writing. AI tools assist with drafting; a named editor reads everything before it is published and is answerable for it. Spotted an error? Write to editor@nerdbite.com and we will fix it on the page and say what changed.

The back catalogue. NerdBite has been going since 2013 and a slice of the older reviews and guides are still here at the addresses they were published at. Each is stamped with its original date and flagged as unrevised, because a 2019 review is evidence of what people thought in 2019, not a current recommendation.

Read it as journalism. Nothing here is security, legal or purchasing advice for your particular situation, and a vulnerability write-up is not a substitute for your vendor's guidance. Contributors and interviewees speak for themselves. We link out so you can check our working, which is not the same as vouching for whatever is at the other end.
