Developer EXM7777 shares that he uses Claude Haiku 5.5 to power fast, enjoyable in-app chat for his customers. For this use case it clearly beats DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and GLM-5.3 Flash, delivering a Claude-like feel at a fraction of the cost — some users even guessed the backend was Opus. He credits good context management and prompt engineering for the results.
