The Strands solution is based on an open weights model, so has zero API cost, and Amazon are obviously well positioned to serve it themselves extremely inexpensively.
A modern model like Haiku 5.5 is still going to be overkill for many of these decision model use cases, and is probably at least 10x the number of parameters (Haiku 20-50B ??? vs Strand Decsions 2B Gemma 4).
