News Classifier Model
Setting key
news_classifier_model
Default
claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
What it does
The Anthropic model ID used by the news gate to classify each incoming headline. Haiku is the default because it is fast and low-cost, and news classification runs on every headline in the live feed, so latency and token cost matter. Upgrading to a larger model increases classification quality but raises API costs and adds latency to the news-gate decision loop.
When to change it
If you want higher classification accuracy and are willing to pay more per headline, switch to a Sonnet model. Do not use Opus: the throughput requirement makes it impractical.
Safe range
Any valid Anthropic model ID. Haiku is the practical floor for latency.
Example
