Original Reddit post

Hello! Long time user, first time poster. Just wanted to share to give some visibility to it. I just cancelled my pro subscription basically because I was waiting for a new version of haiku that is basically what I used the most since most of the task, even for coding, are quite repetitive within the same context. So for me using sonnet, opus or fable it feels like an overkill for 99% of the cases. The issue is that Anthropic seems to have forgotten about their small models, we got 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 and 5 of the others but haiku got relegated to be only 4.5 and even worse, other providers give much better models for even less price than Haiku 4.5. So yeah, that’s it, for now switching to base plan of codex using Luna mostly and for extra usage DeepSeek API. I just wanted to gauge the feeling at this feeling I’m feeling. And if possible maybe someone from Anthropic will see it and say we need Haiku 5… Now! submitted by /u/Global-Section8839
