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.
GPT-5.4
Excellent general-purpose reasoning and broad world knowledge, with strong performance on coding, math, and multi-modal (image + file) inputs.
Output tokens are priced well above input tokens, so verbose responses dominate cost — tight max-token limits and prompt caching matter.
