**Anthropic’s release cadence favors larger models first, with Haiku versions following months later.** Claude Haiku 4.5 launched in October 2025 as the current lightweight offering, delivering near-Sonnet 4 coding performance at roughly one-third the cost and over twice the speed while supporting extended thinking and computer use. As of mid-August 2026, newer Claude 5-series models (Sonnet 5 in June, Opus 5 in July) have shipped without a corresponding Haiku update, consistent with prior gaps where Haiku trailed flagship releases. Trader sentiment reflects expectations that the next Haiku—likely a 5-series or incremental 4.x variant—will arrive only after further Sonnet or Opus stabilization, with key catalysts including any Anthropic developer events, API deprecation notices, or competitive benchmarks from rivals that could compress timelines.

Claude Haiku refers to a model by Anthropic explicitly named Haiku. Qualifying models include Claude Haiku 4.6, Claude Haiku 5.0, Haiku 5, or any other Haiku variants. Models under any other name, such as Sonnet, Opus, Fable, or Mythos, will not qualify, unless the model is explicitly and officially named Haiku by Anthropic.
A qualifying model must be launched and publicly accessible, including via open beta or open rolling waitlist signups. A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice.
The release must be either clearly defined and publicly announced by Anthropic as being accessible to the general public or otherwise made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled within the company’s official website. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Anthropic, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.
