Use text input and an explicit max_tokens limit. Remove temperature, top_p and top_k when migrating. Thinking uses output tokens; leave room for the answer. Native images, PDFs and computer-use tools are not covered by this text route.

Higher rates above 100K input tokensBase prices shown include MiniRouter's markup. Above 100,000 input tokens, the provider charges 5× the base input and output rates for the full request. Reasoning tokens count as output. The temporary credit hold covers conservative provider rates; final charges follow reported usage. Source ↗

Focused work

Give Haiku a bounded task.

Anthropic positions Haiku 5.5 for everyday work at scale. Evaluate larger models for open-ended agentic coding.
  1. [ 01 ]

    Extract and classify

    Define the fields or labels you need, then check outputs against representative examples.

  2. [ 02 ]

    Summarize supplied text

    Ask for references to the source material. Verify that important qualifiers survive the summary.

  3. [ 03 ]

    Delegate a small step

    Use a clear stopping condition and validate the result before passing it to another agent.

Publisher list prices

Watch the 100K boundary.

Above 100,000 input tokens, higher rates apply to the full request. These publisher prices exclude MiniRouter markup; current route prices appear above.

From Haiku 4.5

Recheck options and token budgets.

Haiku 5.5 defaults to adaptive thinking at medium effort. Anthropic reports roughly 30% more input tokens for the same text than Haiku 4.5.
  1. [ 01 ]

    Remove legacy settings

    Native requests reject manual thinking budgets, assistant prefills and non-default sampling parameters.

  2. [ 02 ]

    Budget for reasoning

    Small output limits can end a response during thinking. Compare complete answers and total token cost.

  3. [ 03 ]

    Preserve conversation history

    Keep signed thinking blocks unchanged and history append-only. Native thinking replay is account-bound.
