Claude Haiku 4.5 vs GPT-4o

Claude Haiku 4.5

Anthropic

Claude Haiku 4.5, released by Anthropic in October 2025, is a fast, efficient large language model from the Claude 4.5 family optimized for high-throughput, low-latency workloads. It features a 200K token context window, 64K maximum output tokens, native image understanding, and extended thinking capabilities. Haiku 4.5 targets latency-sensitive applications such as real-time assistants, document classification, and lightweight agentic tasks where rapid response times are a primary requirement.

GPT-4o

OpenAI

GPT-4o, released by OpenAI in May 2024, is a multimodal large language model from the GPT-4 family that natively processes text, image, and audio inputs in a single end-to-end model. It features a 128K token context window and demonstrated competitive performance across coding, reasoning, and vision benchmarks at its release. GPT-4o targets general-purpose assistant applications, vision-enabled workflows, and use cases requiring low-latency multimodal understanding.
