What is the usecase for Haiku?

AI summary

A developer questioned the use case for Haiku, noting that it struggled with a simple math problem. The model provided an incorrect solution for the equation 10x - 15 - 2x - 8 = 3, calculating x = 3.25 instead of the correct x = 3. This led the developer to use Opus for generating questions, which still required significant refinement, highlighting Haiku's limitations for even basic tasks.
