Claude Haiku 4.5 vs Command A
Updated October 21, 2026. 48 benchmarks have a result for both. Coding is ranked on the Vibe Coding Index; every other board is shown as published.
Decision reading
Only Claude Haiku 4.5 has a coding score, 35.6 on the Vibe Coding Index; Command A has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Command A has the edge where the context window is larger, 256K against 200K tokens, and where what matters is CaseLaw (Vals AI) or MedQA (Vals AI), where it leads.
