Claude Haiku 5.5 (High) vs GPT-6 Astra (Max)

What the captured data shows

Claude Haiku 5.5 High has lower listed token rates than GPT-6 Astra Max. Astra has the higher intelligence index, while Haiku has a shorter reported first-token delay and greater output throughput. These observations describe the captured configurations and do not supply a separate benchmark result for code, mathematics or writing.

Which model fits your workflow

Test the High setting on tasks where the extra cost of Astra Max is currently justified. Keep the evaluation narrow enough to identify a missed requirement. Include initial waiting time, total runtime and any revisions when judging whether the cheaper configuration is adequate.

Decision takeaway

Haiku High is a lower-priced entry with favorable recorded timing; Astra Max leads the recorded intelligence index.
