I suspect people are misdiagnosing the root cause of why Anthropic is doing this a bit. I don't think this is particularly about the financial impact of people using OpenClaw - they can adjust the amount of tokens in a subscription quite easily. I think the root cause is that Anthropic is capacity constrained so is having to make choices about the customers they want to serve and have chosen people who use Claude Cod…

I'm at large company and pretty much everyone has settled on opus or sonnet 4.6. We would absolutely not allow something like OpenClaw on our network so your point kinda fits here where, if capacity is constrained, then by setting focus away from OpenClaw you're essentially prioritising the enterprise clients. Just spitballing of course

> not allow something like OpenClaw on our network

And where’s the difference between the Claude Desktop app and OpenClaw at this point? Anthropic have been hard at work porting the most important features. You can easily shoot yourself in the foot with both now.

Haha, I almost expected this. Say goodbye to my 600$/ month Anthropic.

There's no way in hell this amount of tokens is reasonable for anything or worth it

You have no idea how much slop people push out on daily basis.

I've met people that fill a box of sushi to take home at the end of their “all you can eat” session because “they paid for it”. Shrug.

Yes and the staff will tell them to stop that or charge them extra for it.

Yes and they will hide their sushi-grabbing because somewhere deep inside they know it's not part of the deal, while at the same time still strongly feeling that they have indeed paid for it.

Ah, to be human!

If you spend $200/month on Anthropic, that's $2400/year. Buy a fast GPU or Strix Halo machine, do the AI locally, after a year you're saving money.

The open models are still far behind GPT 5.4 and Claude if you're using them for building software.

I think maybe you are not familiar with what /loop and the Claude cron tools do. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/scheduled-tasks

I need a hypothetical use case for things like this, I don't get how so many people have so much desire for use of features like this.

Every morning it summarizes a bunch of stuff for me, suggests me PRs to review, emails to reply to, freshly cloned any new repos, pulled all others, presents me with the suggested approaches to my PRs of that day, and gives me a list of my slack mentions that look more urgent.

This is just the morning ones, and saves shitloads of time of clicking around from tool to tool, freeing up time for the thinking and deciding.

There seem to be a ton of people who don't understand how subscription services work. Every single one of them oversells their capacity. The power users that use the services a lot are subsidized by those who don't use it as much, which tends to be the vast majority of the user base. OpenClaw is an autonomous power user. The growing adoption of this walking attack surface was either going to A) cause the cost of Clau…

> Every single one of them oversells their capacity

Indeed. And this model breaks in several cases that overlaps with the current AI business model:

- marginal cost of incremental usage is too high (Movie Pass)

- adverse selection (all you can eat monthly steak subscriptions)

- demand is synchronized (WeWork)

I agree, I think consumers appreciate transparency.

To some degree sure, is it about the number tokens you can max out? I’m pretty happy knowing that it supports my development workflow for a week. Recent features like the Code Desktop built in browser, Cowork with Claude in Chrome and remote control matter to me way more than the number of tokens. But that’s me. Depends on their targeted ICP also, which they are free to define. Is it those users maxing out tokens for…

> I’m pretty happy knowing that it supports my development workflow for a week

For many it doesn't. It's opaque, it changes, and they bury the news in fucking twitter. https://x.com/trq212/status/2037254607001559305

There's a lot to love about Anthropic. But man do they suck at PR.
