Claude Haiku 4.5 is Anthropic’s fastest and most efficient model, delivering near-frontier intelligence at a fraction of the cost and latency of larger Claude models. Matching Claude Sonnet 4’s performance across reasoning, coding, and computer-use tasks, Haiku 4.5 brings frontier-level capability to real-time and high-volume applications.
It introduces extended thinking to the Haiku line; enabling controllable reasoning depth, summarized or interleaved thought output, and tool-assisted workflows with full support for coding, bash, web search, and computer-use tools. Scoring >73% on SWE-bench Verified, Haiku 4.5 ranks among the world’s best coding models while maintaining exceptional responsiveness for sub-agents, parallelized execution, and scaled deployment.
Providers
Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick: Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Floor (cheapest).

Performance
Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime
Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.
Availability over the last 3 days
Last 72 hoursAvailability over the last 24 hours
When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.

Anthropic: Claude Haiku versions
Available through EU in-region routing
Anthropic: Claude Haiku 4.5 is available through EU in-region routing. Requests sent to eu.openrouter.ai are decrypted in the EU and routed only to shared provider endpoints in Europe (the EU/EEA, the UK, and Switzerland).
- Providers in Europe
- Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex
- Prices in Europe
- Amazon Bedrock: $1.10/M tokens input, $5.50/M tokens output
- Google Vertex: $1.10/M tokens input, $5.50/M tokens output
- Base URL
https://eu.openrouter.ai/api/v1- Plan
- Requires Business or Enterprise. Self-serve on Business: no contract, no monthly minimum. OpenRouter Business for EU in-region routing
Fails closed: if no shared provider endpoint in Europe is available, the request errors instead of leaving the region. Requests served by your own BYOK key go to your deployment’s region, which you control. In-region routing docs
