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

What the captured data shows

Claude Haiku 5.5 Low and GPT-6 Astra Max represent different reasoning settings as well as different model families. Haiku has much lower listed token rates and a shorter reported first-token time in the captured data. Astra has the higher intelligence index. Those measurements should be read with their settings attached.

Which model fits your workflow

For a quick interactive task, measure how soon each model delivers an answer that a person can use. For a difficult task, inspect the result before rewarding speed. A comparison that hides the Low and Max settings would make it harder to reproduce either outcome.

Decision takeaway

This is a cost and measured-latency tradeoff against a higher aggregate index, with reasoning settings that must remain explicit.
