MindsDB added a new Claude Haiku model to its rate card

MindsDB added Claude Haiku 5.5 to its model rate card at $0.10 per 1M input tokens and $0.50 per 1M output tokens, with cached input at $0.01 and cache writes at $0.125 per 1M tokens, per MindsDB's pricing page as of Nov 7, 2026. For prompts over 100K tokens, the same rate card steps those rates up to $0.50 input and $2.50 output per 1M tokens, also as of Nov 7, 2026.

MindsDB also added an unversioned "Claude Haiku" alias row at the same base rates with no long-prompt surcharge, and left Haiku 4.5 unchanged at $1.00 input and $5.00 output per 1M tokens, per MindsDB's pricing page as of Nov 7, 2026.

Pulse tracked 18 changes to MindsDB's rate card in the last 90 days, averaging roughly one every 9 days. That cadence is what pricing a model marketplace, rather than a single product, looks like: each new foundation-model release becomes its own priced row, and existing rows can move too — Pulse recorded MindsDB raising its MindsHub Blaze rates in late September 2026.

For a product leader reselling or bundling third-party AI, the lesson is to price by model tier and time-box any rate guarantee you give customers — don't assume today's per-token economics hold for more than a few weeks when your own vendor resells someone else's compute. Watch whether MindsDB settles its rate card or keeps stacking new model rows: 28 of MindsDB's 35 pricing-page comparisons were real changes since Pulse began tracking on Mar 9, 2026, which points to a catalog still being built out rather than settled.
