What is Claude Haiku 5.5?
Use claude-haiku-5-5 for this version; claude-haiku-4-5 is a different model. The important billing boundary is 100,000 input tokens per request. Longer requests use the second tier for input, output and caching, so a monthly total alone does not determine cost. Compare the complete tier table before budgeting document processing, chat or coding workloads. API access requires a funded API balance.
Works with the OpenAI SDKs, LangChain, Cursor, Cline and any tool that accepts a custom base URL.
Server-sent events, function calling and JSON output behave the way the upstream model documents them.
The rates come from Crazyrouter's billing table; discounts vary by model.
Compare against Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and more without juggling vendor accounts.
