Claude Haiku 4.5 is Anthropic’s lightweight model in the Claude 4.5 series, released in October 2025 under a proprietary license. Designed for speed and cost efficiency, it delivers near-frontier performance while maintaining Anthropic’s AI Safety Level 2 standard. Haiku 4.5 supports both text and multimodal (text and image) inputs, integrates tool use and extended reasoning, and features a 200,000 token context window, making it adept at handling long or complex workflows. Though the parameter count remains undisclosed, it achieves about 73.3% on SWE-bench Verified, reflecting strong coding and reasoning ability. Haiku 4.5 is ideal for developers and researchers seeking rapid, cost-effective model calls for analysis, coding, or multimodal understanding.

Claude Haiku 4.5 runs as a hosted REST endpoint through Roboflow Workflows. Pick a task, then hand the prompt to your coding agent or copy the code. Deploying the workflow into a free Roboflow workspace replaces the your-workspace and YOUR_API_KEY placeholders with your own.
Add the Roboflow MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http roboflow https://mcp.roboflow.com/mcp
Run /mcp and authorize Roboflow in your browser when the OAuth flow opens.
Start a new Claude Code session so the MCP loads, then paste the prompt below (it works the same in any agent).
Deploy this workflow to your Roboflow workspace to use it.
Integrate the Roboflow "Claude Haiku 4.5" workflow into my app.
- Endpoint: POST https://serverless.roboflow.com/<your-workspace>/workflows/claude-4-5-haiku-captioning
- Auth: send my Roboflow API key as `api_key` in the request body, read from the ROBOFLOW_API_KEY env var (never hardcode).
- Body: { "api_key": ..., "inputs": { `image`: { type: "url" | "base64", value } } }.
- Billing: this workflow needs no provider API key — inference runs on my Roboflow credits. A BYO provider key can be added to the model step in the Roboflow workflow editor later.
With the Roboflow MCP connected, call `workflows_get` on "claude-4-5-haiku-captioning" to read the exact input schema (the source of truth), then `workflows_run` on a sample image to confirm the output shape before writing code (the MCP is authenticated, so this needs no key). Without the MCP, use the contract above.
Before running the app, set up these keys so it does not error at runtime:
- `ROBOFLOW_API_KEY` (sent as `api_key`) from https://app.roboflow.com/settings/api
Create a .gitignore'd .env with these variables, using placeholder values for any I haven't given you. Then pause and tell me directly, in your reply: the full path to the .env file, exactly which keys I need to paste in, and the link to get each one. Wait for me to confirm I've added them before you run anything. Do not run the app until I confirm.
Then add the integration to my codebase: match my project's language, framework, and conventions; read every key from environment variables (never hardcode); add basic error handling; and include a small runnable example. If you can't tell what language my project uses, ask me.pip install inference-sdkDeploy this workflow to your Roboflow workspace to use it.

Vendor terms govern data retention, whether your inputs can be trained on, rate limits, and regional availability, and they can change with notice. Review them if you handle regulated or customer data.
Proprietary terms are set by the vendor rather than negotiated per project, and no open-source obligation attaches to your code.

Yes. Claude Haiku 4.5 accepts image input, and on Roboflow's previous vision benchmark it passed 58.2% of visual understanding tasks (#51 of 77) and scored 61.6% on OCR. You can test it on your own image in the demo above.
Claude Haiku 4.5 has not yet been evaluated on Roboflow's current Vision Evals. The results on this page are from the previous benchmark.
