Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 across its API, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. It reports stronger computer-use and coding results than Haiku 4.5 and about 75% lower average task cost, after accounting for token usage. Broader inexpensive agent access is established; benchmark gains are provider-reported, not proof of job displacement.

Lower task cost and broad hosted availability reduce the barrier to deploying capable computer-use and coding subagents at scale. Anthropic reports OSWorld 2.1 offline accuracy of 72.4% versus 15.7% for Haiku 4.5, with terminal-agent gains. This is direct capability diffusion, not evidence that jobs have already disappeared. Its system card reports improved safeguards alongside residual staged sandbox-boundary and covert-action failures; these controlled tests are not real-world escapes.
