Claude Haiku 4.5

Claude Haiku 4.5 is the cheapest and quickest model in the catalog — a dollar per million input tokens, with a 200K context window and a 64K output cap. It uses the older extended-thinking parameter rather than adaptive thinking, which makes it predictable to budget for. Built for the calls you make thousands of times an hour.

Pricing with caching

What input tokens cost as more of your prefix is reused. Cached input bills at $0.10 per million instead of $1.

Getting started

Call Claude Haiku 4.5 through Onefold with any OpenAI-compatible client by changing the base URL. Onefold authenticates the request and routes it to an available provider.

index.ts
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.onefoldhq.com/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.ONEFOLD_API_KEY,
});

const result = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Why is the sky blue?" }],
});

console.log(result.choices[0].message.content);

Streaming

Stream tokens as they are produced. The gateway never buffers the upstream response.

stream.ts
const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Summarise this document." }],
  stream: true,
});

for await (const chunk of stream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content ?? "");
}

Image input

Send images alongside text as message parts. Images count as input tokens.

image-input.ts
const result = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5",
  messages: [
    {
      role: "user",
      content: [
        { type: "text", text: "Describe this image." },
        { type: "image_url", image_url: { url: "https://example.com/photo.jpg" } },
      ],
    },
  ],
});

Top-level parameters

The same Claude Haiku 4.5 request in every API format Onefold supports.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
modelstringYesModel id in the form creator/model, here anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5. Onefold routes the request to an available provider.
messagesMessage[]YesThe conversation so far. System, user, assistant and tool roles are all accepted and translated into the provider dialect.
max_tokensnumberNoHard cap on generated tokens. Claude Haiku 4.5 supports up to 64,000. Thinking tokens count toward this limit.
streambooleanNoStream the response as server-sent events. The gateway streams byte by byte rather than buffering the upstream response.
temperaturenumberNoSampling temperature. Passed through to the provider unchanged.
toolsTool[]NoTool definitions in OpenAI shape. Translated into the provider native format, including parallel tool calls.

About Claude Haiku 4.5

Claude Haiku 4.5 is the cheapest and quickest model in the catalog — a dollar per million input tokens, with a 200K context window and a 64K output cap. It uses the older extended-thinking parameter rather than adaptive thinking, which makes it predictable to budget for. Built for the calls you make thousands of times an hour.

It speaks the anthropic dialect and reaches 3 platforms through Onefold. Its knowledge is most reliable through Feb 2025. Anthropic released it on 1 Oct 2025.

What to consider when choosing a provider

  • Output ceiling: platforms cap output independently of the model. Anthropic allows 64K. Bedrock allows 8K. Google Vertex AI allows 8K.
  • Authentication: Onefold authenticates requests with one key. You do not manage provider credentials directly.
  • Dialect: this model speaks anthropic. You never write it — the gateway accepts OpenAI-shaped requests and translates at the edge.

When to use Claude Haiku 4.5

Best for

  • Classification, extraction, routing and other high-frequency short work.
  • Agentic tool use: parallel tool calls, translated to the native format

Consider alternatives when

  • You need more context: Claude Sonnet 5 carries 1M
  • Latency dominates: a lighter model in the same family answers sooner
  • The task is narrow: a smaller model hits the same bar for less on well-scoped work

Frequently asked questions

What does Claude Haiku 4.5 cost?

$1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, which is Anthropic's published list price. Onefold adds a flat 5% routing fee on top, billed from prepaid credits. Cached input is far cheaper at $0.10 per million tokens.

What is the context window for Claude Haiku 4.5?

200,000 tokens of context, with up to 64,000 tokens in a single response. Its knowledge is most reliable through Feb 2025.

How do I call Claude Haiku 4.5?

Point any OpenAI-compatible client at https://api.onefoldhq.com/v1 and pass "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5" as the model string. There is no SDK to install, we translate the request into Anthropic's anthropic dialect on the way out and the response stream back on the way in.

How is prompt caching billed?

Reading from cache costs $0.10 per million tokens, one tenth of the list input price. Writing to a five-minute cache costs $1.25 (1.25× list), and a one-hour cache costs $2 (2× list). Prefixes shorter than 4,096 tokens will not cache at all.

Which API dialect does Claude Haiku 4.5 speak?

The anthropic dialect. You never write it: the gateway accepts OpenAI-shaped requests and translates them at the edge, streaming byte by byte rather than buffering. Switching to a model on a different dialect means changing the model string and nothing else.

Is Claude Haiku 4.5 being retired?

No retirement date has been announced. Anthropic publishes deprecations ahead of time, and this page tracks that field, so a date will appear here if one is set.
