Claude Haiku 5.5 arrives with massive price cuts proving the AI pricing arms race is far from over

Benchmarking platform Artificial Analysis ranks Haiku 5.5 as the leading small-class model with a score of 43 on its Intelligence Index, just ahead of GLM-5.3 Flash (42), Gemini 3.8 Flash (41), and GPT-6 Luna (38). A 13-point gap to Claude Sonnet 5.5 remains. Artificial Analysis flags a much higher token consumption, though. At the highest effort level, Haiku 5.5 uses about 162,000 output tokens per task on the Intelligence Index, roughly three times the 50,000 tokens GPT-6 Luna needs.
