Forget the days when AI had more baggage than your high school drama club. Anthropic just dropped a shiny new model named Haiku 4.5, and it’s as nimble as a cat on a hot tin roof. This model claims to code just as well as its bigger brother, Claude Sonnet 4, but hold onto your keyboards, folks—it does so at lightning speed and at a budget-friendly one-third of the cost.
Imagine having a personal assistant that not only thinks fast but can also chop up complex problems into bite-sized tasks as easily as a chef wielding a sous-vide. That’s Haiku 4.5 for you. With it, you can run multiple instances concurrently, like ordering your favorite takeout from three different restaurants at once.
Oh, and here’s the kicker: starting now, free Claude plans will automatically use Haiku 4.5. So, if you’ve been waiting for an upgrade to your AI toolkit, it seems Anthropic has just handed you a brand-new Swiss Army knife.
In a world where AI models keep multiplying faster than my laundry pile, it’s refreshing to see one that actually seems useful without breaking the bank. Will you be jumping on the Haiku bandwagon, or are you still stuck in the stone age of AI?
