Anthropic Claude Haiku 5.5 release: prompt injection resistance significantly improved
Anthropic’s new budget model gets much better at ignoring hidden commands
AI summary
Anthropic releases Claude Haiku 5.5, calling it the Haiku model with the strongest prompt injection resistance to date; in adaptive attack tests in coding and computer-use environments, its resistance roughly matches its frontier models. In Claude Code tests, the model's refusal rate for malicious requests rises from 66.6% with Haiku 4.5 to 84.3%, and in computer-use scenarios the refusal rate rises from 58.9% to about 82.6%. Its cybersecurity guardrails are stricter than Haiku 4.5's but looser than recent models like Sonnet 5.5; qualified security practitioners can apply for relaxed limits through the Cyber Verification Program.
