Claude 3.5 Haiku cache-read price history tracks cache read list pricing for claude-3-5-haiku-20241022. It publishes 1 editorially verified episode while preserving the broader machine timeline as a separate evidence layer.
Identity and scope
This page identifies the Anthropic API snapshot claude-3-5-haiku-20241022. Pre-release placeholder states remain machine observations only; the verified episode starts from the purchasable $1 input / $5 output launch pricing and its corresponding prompt-cache rates.
Editorially verified change
A cache read is billed at one tenth of base input price under the retained 5-minute prompt-caching schedule. The verified 20% base-price cut therefore moved this component from $0.10 to $0.08 per million tokens.
| Old price last seen | Old | New price first seen | New | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 3, 2024 last old-price capture |
$0.1 | December 3, 2024 first new-price capture |
$0.08 | 20% cut; Anthropic announced the new input and output rates on the same date. |

How to use this history
