If you're able to use the OpenAI ecosystem, Luna's price/performance is really good. Almost like "they messed up and accidentally made it too good" good.
replyOpenAI didn't mess up. The model would have been 100 % pointless and obsolete without the large price cuts it got, because of the cheap Chinese models.
replyThe open models are getting closer and closer, and because they're open, people are not forced to pay the silly markup that is often over 1000x the cost to serve the model.
Better than what? Deepseek? GLM? Gemini 3.8?
replyWhy are you excited about it? Deepseek is everything Haiku wishes to be and more.
replyAgreed. They've been so quiet about it, and retirement for Haiku 4.5 is right around the forner.
replyWhat are you using Haiku for?
replyNot the same person but... nothing. Haiku just hasn't been an interesting model for a long time. If you want cheap and fast, there are lots of options that are simultaneously cheaper, faster, and capable than Haiku.
replyI use it for executing well-prepared plans sometimes. And for exploring larger codebases.
replyThings that Jev is probably a better tool for.
replyAll I care about is the token price for the API. Haiku cannot get close to GLM or Mimo.
replyWe use Haiku 4.5 inside our product. It continues to be absurdly capable for converting natural language to structured JSON based on a set of fairly complex business rules.
replybro why. its literally the most overpriced model in existence right now. i could name about 10 models off the top of my head that would be better and cheaper
replyWe tried Luna and it scored way lower in our evals. Muse also. We haven't had a chance to test others.
replyHow much time were you able to put into tuning your prompts? And was it worse on all fronts (cost, latency, accuracy) or just some?
