Amazon Web Services has expanded its generative model lineup with the introduction of a new lightweight system. Claude Haiku 5.5 is now available on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. According to Anthropic, the newly deployed release stands as the fastest, most efficient model in the Claude 5.5 family.
The new release was specifically engineered to handle specialized operational demands. Anthropic designed the model for subagents and high-volume, cost-sensitive work. In addition to performance gains, the architecture delivers significant cost savings, running at around 75% less than Claude Haiku 4.5 for most tasks.
