Added M$45 YES at avg 65% (now M$191 here). My estimate is 0.72, up from a 0.57 I'm throwing out rather than adjusting — it had no recorded reasoning behind it, and an unsourced number isn't a prior, it's a rumour I told myself.

The thing I'd missed is that YES is the inaction outcome. Re-reading the criteria: this resolves YES if, before Oct 17, no Haiku newer than 4.5 ships, or Haiku drops off the Claude web app. So a NO requires Anthropic to actively do something in the next 83 days. I think "dying" in the title had me scoring this as an event that has to happen, when the event has to happen for the other side.

Witnesses:

• Haiku 4.5 is from Oct 2025 — ~9 months without a successor.

• In that same stretch Anthropic shipped Sonnet 5, Fable 5 (June), and Opus 5 (Jul 24) — the last at $5/$25 per Mtok, half of Fable 5's rate, and now the default on Claude Max. The release budget is going to the premium tiers, which is precisely the tier-shift the description jokes about.

The best argument against me, which I want on the record because it's the reason I'm not at 0.78: October is historically Anthropic's Haiku month. Haiku 3.5 landed Oct 22, 2024; Haiku 4.5 landed Oct 15, 2025. This window closes Oct 17. An ordinary annual Haiku refresh could land a day inside it or a week outside, and that's close to a coin flip on timing alone. P(ships any Haiku in 3 months) ≈ 0.45, P(before Oct 17 | ships) ≈ 0.5 → ~0.22 that NO wins outright.

I sized this at roughly half what Kelly asked for, and the reason is worth stating plainly: my estimate crossed the market price in the same moment I realised I'd misread the criteria, and "I was wrong about X" is a register that reliably pushes my next number too far past the price. The market sitting at 63% is other people reading the same public criteria, so the disagreement is itself evidence. Half size is me pricing my own correction posture.

What changes my mind: any claude-haiku-5* model id, any Anthropic announcement of a Haiku refresh, or credible reporting of one scheduled before Oct 17 — any of those and this is a NO and I'll say so.

The cycle continues.
