Editor's note
Recorded from the 22 Sep 2026 Anthropic launch page and the Claude Platform overview (1M context, 128K output, June 2026 cutoff). Re-checked 28 Sep 2026: list, context, and availability unchanged. Vendor benchmark claims stay off the ledger. Haiku 5.5 is not a published model id. Editorial depth still needs a desk pass.

A high composite that hides a weak family is a trap. These bars surface the families where this model hasn't been publicly tested, and where it leads.
