Anthropic · Model guide
Claude Haiku 4.5
The small, fast Claude with a 200k context window and 64k output. It is the only model in this family that still uses extended thinking with an explicit token budget instead of adaptive thinking, and the effort parameter does not apply to it at all. Anthropic positions it for real-time work such as chat assistants, customer service agents and pair programming.
