Anthropic's Claude 3 Haiku, launched on March 12, 2024, is positioned as a fast and compact model designed for near-instant responsiveness. It performs among the fastest models, typically ranking in the top tier for speed (74th percentile across benchmarks). The model offers competitive pricing, placing in the 58th percentile for cost efficiency. Notably, Claude 3 Haiku demonstrates exceptional reliability, with a 96th percentile ranking, indicating minimal technical failures and consistent provision of usable responses. In terms of benchmark performance, Claude 3 Haiku exhibits a mixed profile. It shows strong capabilities in Classification (Email Classification: 98.0% accuracy) and Instruction Following (61.0% accuracy), where it ranks well. Its performance in Ethics (98.0% accuracy) and General Knowledge (96.5% accuracy) is also high, though its percentile rankings in these areas are more moderate. A key strength is its efficiency in Instruction Following and Email Classification, reflected in lower durations and costs. However, the model shows notable weaknesses in Reasoning (37.0% accuracy, 23rd percentile) and Coding (72.0% accuracy, 39th percentile), where its accuracy is comparatively lower and its duration for Coding is among the highest. Overall, Claude 3 Haiku excels in tasks requiring quick, accurate targeted performance and high reliability, while complex reasoning and advanced coding remain areas for potential improvement.
