My guess is that haiku will be a mid release. They don’t seem to care to compete for the low end. Something akin to gpt6 sol level intelligence at $1 / $5 pricing. Then not release an update for 6+ months.
Haiku 5.5 is DOA without a massive price cut. Luna is literally 10x cheaper at current pricing
It depends entirely on its capabilities. If it is significantly smarter than Luna, which frankly is quite likely, then a lot of people won't mind paying more.
Or if its luna at 1000 tok/sec. Speed is what most of my peers care most about these days since less intelligent models can do most grunt work just fine.
