Users argue that Haiku 5 would be valuable as a faster, cheaper model for Claude Code workflows.
- The poster says Haiku is underrated and that the Explore tool in the main agent often uses Haiku 4.5, which hallucinated heavily in their codebase.
- They note that they could force a “better” model in CLAUDE.md, but that increases cost.
- The ask is simple: a fast, cost-effective new Haiku for agentic coding use cases.
