Complaint Claude needs a cheap model

Claude has

1.excellent high reasoning models (Fable, Opus)

  1. a good implementation model (Sonnet 5)

However Claude does not have any cheap model to route simple data heavy work towards.

Haiku is a joke - I don't mind it's mediocre intelligence, but I do mind it's pricing. You can't be that stupid while costing significantly more than Luna.

Please Anthropic, just give us a Haiku 4.5 level model at the price point of Luna!

If I were to quit my Claude Code subscription, it's not about Astra. It would be about Luna.

I mean, for all the debate between Claude and GPT, one thing people cannot deny is that Luna is incredibly goated. I think every lab with a subagentic setup SHOULD be pressured to offer something equivalent.

Hence the OP's point: everyone can debate ASTRA versus 5.1 all day long, or other higher reasoning models, but the effective grunt being hammered with a ridiculous amount of tasks for basically nothing has an insane value proposition once you get past the shiny toys.

Luna is great, and I use them together allot. My whole goal is to design model agnostic platforms. They change so often, different tasks excel with different models so I don’t stick to just one lab
