Anthropic slashes Claude Haiku 5.5 prices by 75%, boosting small business AI automation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic has significantly reduced the pricing for its Claude Haiku 5.5 model, making it approximately 75% cheaper than its predecessor, Haiku 4.5. This price drop, to $0.10/$0.50 per million tokens for prompts under 100,000 tokens, makes previously cost-prohibitive AI automation tasks feasible for small businesses. Workflows that were once expensive to scale, such as classifying support tickets or extracting data, can now be automated at a fraction of the previous cost, lowering the economic threshold for implementing AI solutions.

IMPACT Makes high-volume, short-context AI tasks more affordable for small businesses, potentially accelerating automation adoption.
