🚨 NEW HAIKU model vs SONNET 5.5 Haiku 5.5 just dropped not long ago, and Claude is cooking with it. I LOVE IT, and was SHOCKED! Super CHEAP, and honestly, not much worse looking than Astra in this demo 👀 😂 Same prompt as last time: GTA hot pursuit. Both HIGH effort. HAIKU 5.5 vs SONNET 5.5 → Time: 14m49s vs 28m30s → Tokens incl. cache: 4.72M vs 5.44M → Cost: ~$0.52 vs ~$3.69 → TPS: 179.2 vs 126.8 Haiku finished 2x FASTER. Sonnet similar QUALITY to Opus. Are the visuals worth ~7× the API cost? Do you like the new Haiku?
