Claude Haiku 4.5 is the speed-and-cost tier — surprisingly capable coding (73% SWE-bench) at the lowest Claude price point.
Best for
- Fastest, cheapest Claude tier for high-volume, low-latency work
- Classification, extraction, routing, lightweight chat
- Simple-to-moderate coding with strong value
How it compares — and the India angle
- Smaller 200K context (vs 1M on Opus/Sonnet) — not for whole-repo or huge-document jobs.
- For high-throughput Indian startups, Haiku's $1/$5 pricing keeps unit economics viable where Opus wouldn't.
- Step up to Sonnet when a task needs deeper reasoning or the 1M window.
