About Claude 3 Haiku

Claude 3 Haiku is Anthropic's smallest, fastest model — small enough to be basically free per message on Faceb.ai's token economy, but still sharp for day-to-day tasks. Our cheapest Anthropic option.

What it's good at

1

Sub-second first-token latency

2

Cheap enough to run over large documents

3

200k context

4

Same careful tone as its bigger siblings

Pricing on Faceb.ai

A few hundred tokens per message. Ideal for "cheap mass" work like summarising a bunch of docs.

Use Claude 3 Haiku from the API

OpenAI-compatible. Same Faceb.ai tokens cover chat and API. Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK.

curl https://api.faceb.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "anthropic/claude-3-haiku",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    "stream": true
  }'
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.faceb.ai/v1",
    api_key="sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY",
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-3-haiku",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="", flush=True)
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.faceb.ai/v1",
  apiKey: "sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY",
});

const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "anthropic/claude-3-haiku",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
  stream: true,
});
for await (const chunk of stream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || "");
}

Also works for image generation (image-output model slugs return image_url content parts) and web search (add "web_search": true to the payload). Same endpoint, same wallet.

Frequently asked — Claude 3 Haiku

What is Claude 3 Haiku?

Claude 3 Haiku is Anthropic's smallest and fastest model — released March 2024. Designed for high-volume, low-latency use cases.

When should I use Haiku instead of Sonnet?

Haiku for high-volume, short-turnaround tasks (summaries, classifications, tagging). Sonnet for anything that needs real reasoning.

Is Claude Haiku free on Faceb.ai?

You get 30k tokens free every day — a Haiku message costs a few hundred, so that's 70+ free messages a day, every day.

What's Haiku's context window?

200,000 tokens — same as full Sonnet. Large input with cheap processing.

Is Claude 3 Haiku multimodal?

Yes — it accepts image input, just like the rest of the Claude 3 family.

How does Haiku compare to GPT-4o mini?

Both are small-and-fast. Haiku has a larger context window (200k vs 128k); GPT-4o mini tends to score slightly higher on reasoning benchmarks. Pennies either way.

Can I use Claude Haiku for production workloads?

Yes — Anthropic designed it specifically for production chat and classification workloads. Many call-centre and moderation systems run on Haiku.

Does Haiku support tool-use / function calling?

Yes — same tool-use API as Sonnet and Opus.

Can I call Haiku through the API?

Yes. Model slug: anthropic/claude-3-haiku. API base: https://api.faceb.ai/v1.

Is there a Claude 3.5 Haiku?

Yes — Anthropic released Claude 3.5 Haiku in late 2024, and our picker has it too. Slight quality upgrade over 3 Haiku at similar cost.

Will cheaper models like Haiku ever match Sonnet quality?

On narrow tasks yes; on open-ended reasoning, probably not without a big new generation. Pick the right model per task — that's why we built the per-message switcher.

How private are Claude Haiku conversations?

Same as the rest of Anthropic's API — traffic is not used for training, we don't store beyond your chat history, and the Privacy Policy spells out retention periods.
