claude-haiku-5-5

Featured Anthropic Haiku model for low-latency, high-throughput, and bounded production workflows.

Overview

  • Anthropic positions Claude Haiku 5.5 as its fastest, cheapest, and most capable small model, and says it costs about 75% less to run on average than Claude Haiku 4.5. This is provider positioning; validate actual behavior on a fixed workload.
  • It is a practical candidate for frequent, bounded requests where response time and throughput matter. Use a stronger model for difficult long-context work, multi-step planning, or quality-sensitive final output.
  • The public GPT88 model square has not synced Haiku 5.5 yet, so this page is backed by a local catalog patch. Confirm the exact API model ID, access, pricing, and route with the console and GET /v1/models.

Best Use Cases

  • Use it for high-frequency support, ticketing, classification, extraction, and review assistance
  • Process rewriting, summarization, routing, and structured text in batches
  • Assign retrieval, judgment, formatting, or other bounded steps to it inside an agent
  • Compare speed, quality, errors, and actual usage with Haiku 4.5 and your current default

Integration Notes

  • Use the GPT88 Base URL and set model to claude-haiku-5-5 in an OpenAI-compatible request after confirming access for the current API key.
  • Claude- or Anthropic-style tools should use the same GPT88 Base URL and the native request format required by that client.
  • Validate non-streaming, streaming, structured output, and tools separately before adding batch or long-context workloads.
  • Keep a tested Sonnet, Opus, or other lightweight fallback and record first-token latency, end-to-end latency, success rate, and usage.

Usage Notes

  • The public announcement does not define GPT88 route pricing, context limits, rate limits, tools, or vision support; those fields are controlled by the current console configuration.
  • Faster, cheaper, and more capable are release positioning claims, not guarantees for every prompt, concurrency level, or route. Test representative workloads.
  • Canary a new model and keep a validated fallback until quality, latency, errors, and usage are established in production-like traffic.

Endpoint Path

POSThttps://api.gpt88.cc/v1/chat/completions

The endpoint path is determined by the model category. Chat, image, video, and audio models use different endpoints.

Send requests with Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>. See Chat Completions API for the full parameter reference.

API Docs

Endpoint
POST /v1/messages or POST /v1/chat/completions
Model ID
claude-haiku-5-5
Content-Type
application/json
Protocol
Claude family model. Claude-native tools should prefer the Anthropic Messages protocol; OpenAI-compatible tools can use the compatibility path.
Base URL
Use https://api.gpt88.cc for Claude Code / Anthropic SDK, OpenAI SDK, Cursor, and cURL.

Headers / Auth

  • AuthorizationstringRequired
    Send Bearer <GPT88_API_KEY>. Create the API key in the gpt88.cc console.
  • Content-TypestringRequired
    Request body format. Audio transcription uploads use multipart/form-data.
    Default:application/json
  • Acceptstring
    Non-streaming requests return JSON; streaming chat requests return SSE chunks.
    Default:application/json or text/event-stream

Chat Protocol Differences

For chat models, the protocol used by the client matters as much as the model name. Claude Code / Anthropic SDK and OpenAI SDK build different request paths.

OpenAI Compatible
Base URL
https://api.gpt88.cc
Endpoint
POST /v1/chat/completions
Body
{ "model": "claude-haiku-5-5", "messages": [...] }
Anthropic / ClaudeRecommended
Base URL
https://api.gpt88.cc
Endpoint
POST /v1/messages
Body
{ "model": "claude-haiku-5-5", "messages": [...] }

This model is in the Claude family. Claude Code, Anthropic SDK, OpenClaw, and similar tools should prefer the Anthropic / Claude path.

Request Parameters

The fields below are generated by model category. Pricing, context limits, rate limits, and available routes should be confirmed in the gpt88.cc console.

  • modelstringRequired
    Current model ID: claude-haiku-5-5. Preserve the exact casing when copying.
  • messagesarray<Message>Required
    Conversation history. Each message includes role and content.
  • streamboolean
    Enable SSE streaming. Useful for chat interfaces and long responses.
    Default:false
  • temperaturenumber
    Sampling temperature. Higher values produce more variation; production workloads usually start with a fixed value.
    Default:1
  • max_tokensinteger
    Maximum output tokens for this request. Real context limits should be confirmed in the console.
  • response_formatobject
    Structured output config, for example { "type": "json_object" }.
  • toolsarray<Tool>
    Function-calling tool definitions. Availability depends on the model and account configuration.

Response Fields

Response bodies generally follow OpenAI-compatible shapes. Media models may return async task IDs or resource URLs.

  • idstringRequired
    Unique completion ID for tracing and debugging.
  • objectstringRequired
    Usually chat.completion or a streaming chunk type.
  • modelstringRequired
    Actual model ID that handled inference.
  • choicesarray<Choice>Required
    Generated choices including message, delta, and finish_reason.
  • usageobject
    Token usage statistics. Streaming calls may return this only at the end or in non-streaming mode.

Status Codes

  • 200OKRequired
    Request succeeded. See the response field table above for the response body shape.
  • 400Bad Request
    Invalid request fields, such as missing required fields, unsupported image size format, or unsupported file type.
  • 401Unauthorized
    API key is missing, invalid, or malformed.
  • 404Not Found
    Endpoint or model not found. Confirm the path is /v1/chat/completions and the model ID is claude-haiku-5-5.
  • 429Rate Limited
    Rate limit, concurrency cap, or insufficient balance. Check the console for the current allowance.
  • 5xxUpstream Error
    Upstream or request failure. Retry with the same Base URL and keep the request ID for debugging.

Errors and Troubleshooting

  • 401: verify Authorization is Bearer <API_KEY> and the key is still valid.
  • 404: confirm the endpoint is /v1/chat/completions and the model ID claude-haiku-5-5 is available in the console.
  • 429: reduce concurrency, shorten requests, or check balance and quota in the console.
  • 5xx: retry with the same Base URL and keep the request ID for debugging.
