Claude Haiku 4.5
Very low latency for high-volume, simple tasks — classification, short summaries, and lightweight chat where response time matters more than depth.
Noticeably weaker on multi-step reasoning and long-context synthesis; pairing with a larger model for escalation is common.
Gemini 3.5 Flash
Fast, cheap multi-modal model with the same 1M-token context as the Pro tier — good for high-volume document Q&A and image/audio triage.
Reasoning quality trails the Pro tier on complex, multi-step tasks; best used where speed and context size matter more than depth.
