Claude Haiku 5.5 ships at GPT-6 Luna's price, leads on several benchmarks

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

Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 at the same price as GPT-6 Luna. It is live on the Claude Platform and Claude Code, with a 1M-token context window, reasoning-effort settings and adaptive thinking.

Why it matters: Haiku 5.5 matches Luna on price, but full-strength reasoning burns about 3x the output tokens, and long-prompt tiered pricing eats into the per-token advantage.
