Claude 3 Haiku
Fast, affordable model with strong vision capabilities and performance for diverse enterprise applications.
Fast, affordable text and vision processing
Claude 3 Haiku is a text generation model developed by Anthropic, positioned as the fastest and most affordable model in the Claude 3 family. It features a 200,000-token context window and vision capabilities, making it suitable for tasks that require processing large documents or analyzing images alongside text. The model's training data has a cutoff of August 2023.
Haiku is designed for enterprise use cases where throughput and cost efficiency matter, such as customer support, real-time chat, and batch processing of large datasets. It is capable of processing approximately 21,000 tokens — roughly 30 pages — per second for prompts under 32,000 tokens, which makes it well-suited for latency-sensitive applications and workloads that involve running many smaller tasks in parallel.
