🎙 EP 372: Claude Haiku 5.5 with 90% Price Cut & Opus 5.5 Discover Room-Temp Materials
Anthropic launched Claude Haiku 5.5, slashing costs up to 90% down to $0.10/M input tokens and $0.50/M output tokens while introducing adjustable reasoning effort settings for high-density subagent architectures. Meanwhile, researchers at Vals AI leveraged a team of Claude Opus 5.5 agents to surface two promising room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates for next-generation spintronic memory using density functional theory simulations. We’ll talk about: High-speed lightweight model featuring a 90% price reduction, adjustable reasoning effort, and top-tier subagent performance on HubSpot and AlphaSense evaluations. Autonomous multi-agent pipeline discovering and verifying room-temperature semiconductor candidates for spintronic computing. Open-source AI laboratory reaching a $1.5B valuation as its Hermes Agent framework scales to 24M+ instances worldwide. Beta release adding an interactive Claude sidebar inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides for real-time document editing. Keywords: Claude Haiku 5.5, Claude Opus 5.5, Nous Research, Hermes Agent.
