Claude 3 Haiku vs Claude Mythos Preview
Updated August 13, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.
Decision reading
The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict. Use the documented cost, context, and runtime rows instead.
0 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
Which one for your work
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.
Chat turn cost
1K fresh input + 500 output tokens
Claude 3 Haiku

Cache-heavy agent loop cost
200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens
Not enough matched evidence
The page does not recommend a cost winner because at least one model cannot fit the stated workload in one request. Claude 3 Haiku does not fit this workload in one request. Claude 3 Haiku has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate. Claude Mythos Preview has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.
Confidence: rate-fallback

Shape of the matched evidence
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
A shared-evidence shape is not available.
BenchLM does not draw a radar or infer missing axes when the matched evidence is too sparse.
What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

If you already use one of these models
- Deployment change
- Both entries list Anthropic as the provider. Confirm endpoint, model ID, limits, and feature support before switching.
- Quality signal
- The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict.
- Workload cost
- Repository review: $0.01625 vs $1.63. Cache-heavy agent loop: $0.0675 vs $6.75.
- Context tradeoff
- A complete documented context comparison is not available.
Run the same representative tasks against both endpoints before changing production traffic.
Benchmark evidence
The full public result ledger is available for audit without forcing a wide desktop table onto a phone.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better, Claude 3 Haiku or Claude Mythos Preview?
The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.
Which is better for coding, Claude 3 Haiku or Claude Mythos Preview?
The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted coding basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a coding winner.
Which is better for agentic tasks, Claude 3 Haiku or Claude Mythos Preview?
The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted agentic tasks basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a agentic tasks winner.
Which costs less, Claude 3 Haiku or Claude Mythos Preview?
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.00088 on Claude 3 Haiku and $0.0875 on Claude Mythos Preview; repository review costs $0.01625 and $1.63; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.0675 and $6.75. Claude 3 Haiku does not fit this workload in one request. Claude 3 Haiku has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate. Claude Mythos Preview has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.
