Overview
Claude Haiku 5.5 is built for high-volume, latency-sensitive work such as classification, routing, extraction, and subagent tasks. It supports adaptive thinking with the effort parameter, a 1M token context window, and up to 128k output tokens. It uses the same newer tokenizer as Claude 4.7 and later models, so the same text counts as approximately 30 percent more tokens than on Claude Haiku 4.5. Its thinking blocks work only in the account that produced them, or in an account linked to it.
