> Second, this week, we’ll roll out a new monthly API credit to all Max and Team subscribers for use on the Claude Platform. Max 5x users will get $100 in credits per month, Max 20x users will get $200, and Team subscribers will receive up to $500, pooled across their users. These credits are designed to allow our users to experiment with building tools, apps, and agents that call our API.

This is kind of nuts

Is it realistic or cynical for me to assume this is to wean developers off the heavily subsidized subscriptions? Presumably it's using similar compute.

Anthropic was ignoring the usage of third party harnesses. Not anymore.

The forgotten model is back on the map. I actually got OK mileage when I tried it for coding months ago. Maybe I'll try it again, with Opus guiding it, and see how it goes.

Apparently quite a bit smarter than Luna, I wonder what use cases it can cover. I actually honestly don't need a Haiku level AI to be that smart, and looks like you pay for it in the per token cost, I need speed mainly. I might even rather have a dumber but much faster model for things like web searching and parsing to retrieve results for the app or other LLM to do things with.

How are y'all using Haiku though? I rarely select it.

I have a zsh functions that calls claude code with haiku to suggest commit messages, is faster and the instructions are two lines.

I also have an "ask" script that I use daily to ask simple stuff, it can access websearch and webfetch, it's more than enough to parse logs, ask for commands, quick research on the internet, small stuff. https://github.com/mariocesar/dotfiles/blob/main/common/.loc...

I use haiku for things that needs to be quick, have really clear instructions.

with claude -p seemingly now using api credits I guess this approach will have to change unfortunately :/ I wonder what will be the best cmdline way to do things like these

I've been using GPT-6 Luna in some capacity for nearly all my agent workflows. It's just a really good model, and the pricing is cheap. If Haiku 5.5 is better, and the same price (under 100k context... which is a big caveat) i'd probably swap it.

It’s absolutely better than Luna. It feels closer to a “sonnet 5.2” if that makes sense.

Of course it’s not as big, and hence falls-off quicker. I’d consider the 100k a “promotional price” to match Luna’s token pricing while delivering noticeably more intelligence.

Opus often picks it when it's doing a "find me something" subagent. But largely it's been held back by being fully a year old at this point, and priced at a much higher price than models that are far more capable.

not haiku, but luna - last week i used it for things like "read this historical dump of 15k support tickets and break them into categories that make sense, then propose help docs that i could write to handle the most frequent queries in each category"

used <10% of my 5hr limit on a $100 codex plan.

I was waiting for this.

Planning on doing flash analyses of PRs that impact evals in some way, and then post comments on GitHub whenever there’s flaws in them

It's great at parsing documents inexpensively. For the few skills/plugins I've made, I usually instruct Claude to use Haiku for low-reasoning grunt work.

My software application uses Haiku in production more or less as a Jev. I do not use it for coding or development.

Why not have a CPU-first decision model for free? check out gutsy

I'm building a game that incorporates LLMs as a game mechanic.

I've been using Luna, but I'll probably switch to Haiku.

Finally! I understand Haiku is the less intelligent model, but the gap between Sonnet and Opus has been far too wide for about a year now.

I am perpetually confused about every name and version combination from both OpenAI and Anthropic. Especially in conjunction with the effort levels.

It fails the "How many r's in <word>?" test.

I ask:

> how many r's in diminished

It answers:

> Diminished has 1 r.

According to AA benchmarks, it uses 162k output tokens per task (with max reasoning) - over double GLM-5.3 Flash for similar level of Intelligence

The important question though...how does it do making a pelican on a bicycle?
