Adaptive ThinkingOn by default; omit thinking or use adaptive, and control depth with output_config.effort (default: medium)
Short Context Pricing (input โค100K)Input $0.10; cache read $0.01; cache write $0.20; output $0.50 / MTok
Long Context Pricing (input >100K)Input $0.50; cache read $0.05; cache write $1; output $2.50 / MTok; these rates apply to the entire request
Pricing ThresholdTotal input includes uncached input, cache reads, and cache writes; exactly 100,000 tokens still uses short-context rates
Cache Write BillingThis service bills both 5m and 1h cache writes at the 1h rate: $0.20 / MTok for short context, $1 / MTok for long context
Sampling ParametersOmit temperature, top_p, and top_k; replace thinking.type=enabled and budget_tokens with adaptive thinking
Tool CallingSupports auto, any, and named tools; forced tool calls return without a thinking block

When upgrading from Haiku 4.5, follow the official migration guide. Responses may start with thinking blocks, so the example selects text by type; allow room for both thinking and text in max_tokens.
