Claude 3.5 Haiku price drops by 20%. Buried in this otherwise quite dry post about Anthropic's ongoing partnership with AWS:
To make this model even more accessible for a wide range of use cases, we’re lowering the price of Claude 3.5 Haiku to $0.80 per million input tokens and $4 per million output tokens across all platforms.
The previous price was $1/$5. I've updated my LLM pricing calculator and modified yesterday's piece comparing prices with Amazon Nova as well.
Confusing matters somewhat, the article also announces a new way to access Claude 3.5 Haiku at the old price but with "up to 60% faster inference speed":
This faster version of Claude 3.5 Haiku, powered by Trainium2, is available in the US East (Ohio) Region via cross-region inference and is offered at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens.
Using "cross-region inference" involve sending something called an "inference profile" to the Bedrock API. I have an open issue to figure out what that means for my llm-bedrock plugin.
Also from this post: AWS now offer a Bedrock model distillation preview which includes the ability to "teach" Claude 3 Haiku using Claude 3.5 Sonnet. It sounds similar to OpenAI's model distillation feature announced at their DevDay event back in October.
