110110Claude Haiku 5.5 accepts a forced `tool_choice` (`any` or a named tool), but the response starts with the tool call and has no `thinking` block. To let the model think before it calls a tool, use `tool_choice: {"type": "auto"}` and say in the prompt when to use the tool.

112Claude Haiku 5.5 reads thinking blocks from Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Haiku 4.5, and earlier models. So a conversation you switch from Claude Haiku 4.5 onto Claude Haiku 5.5 keeps its reasoning. It doesn’t read blocks from Claude Opus 5, Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, or any Claude Fable or Claude Mythos model; the API drops those without an error. On the Claude API and Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed), Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 read Claude Haiku 5.5’s blocks. See [Switching models mid-conversation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/preserved-thinking#switching-models).
