[AINews] Claude Haiku 5.5 — better than GPT-6 Luna at the same pricing

It’s been about a year since Anthropic shipped Haiku 4.5, and with successive launches of Sonnet and Opus and Fable up to 5.5 it was seeming a little forgotten, especially as OpenAI launched Luna 6 alongside Astra and Sol 6. Well, it’s here, and it’s a welcome update. More in the summary below. Anthropic shipped Claude Haiku 5.5, its first Haiku-tier update in about a year. It is priced to match OpenAI’s GPT-6 Luna, and Anthropic cut prices on Sonnet 5.5 and its subscription plans the same day. Pre-launch signals. @scaling01 posted “happy Haiku 5.5 day” before the announcement.
