I'm not against the pricing, just seems uncommon to frame it in the way they did, as opposed to the usual 'assume the customer expects more performance will cost more'
I guess they have to sell to investors that the price to operate is going down, while still needing more from the user to be sustainable
Can't you continue to use to older model, if you prefer the pricing?
But they also claim this new model uses fewer tokens, so it still might ultimately be cheaper even if per token cost is higher.

You can, until they turn it off.
Anthropic is pulling the plug on Haiku 3 in a couple months, and they haven't released anything in that price range to replace it.
Surely there are open source models that surpass Haiku 3 at better price points by now.
Maybe it's finally a bigger pretrain?
I feel like that would have been highlighted then. "As this is a bigger pretrain, we have to raise prices".
They're framing it pretty directly "We want you to think bigger cost means better model"
