To be clear they weren’t banned from Claude usage, they were required to use the API and API rates rather than Claude Max tokens. Claude code uses a bunch if best practices to maximize cache hit rate. Third party harnesses are hit or miss, so often use a lot more tokens for the same task.
but claude -p is still Claude Code
Has anybody else noticed a pretty significant shift in sentiment when discussing Claude/Codex with other engineers since even just a few months ago? Specifically because of the secret/hidden nature of these changes. I keep getting the sense that people feel like they have no idea if they are getting the product that they originally paid for, or something much weaker, and this sentiment seems to be constantly spreadin…
I can't believe how quickly they went from riding high on anti-OpenAI sentiment post-DOD fiasco, to shooting themselves and all their users new and old in the foot. The ideal time to make your product worse is probably not at the same point that all of your competitor's customers are looking. Anthropic really, really fucked up here. And beyond that, there's a ton of people who are just regular 9-5 Claude CLI users wi…

One thing is lack of control of token efficiency on what’s already a subsidised product. Another thing is branding: Their CLI might be the best right now, but tech debt says it won’t continue to be for very long. By enforcing the CLI you enforce the brand value — you’re not just buying the engine.
Claude Code was the best harness from roughly around release to January this year. Ever since then, it's become more and more bloated with more and more stuff and seemingly no coherent plan or vision to it all other than "let's see what else that sounds cool we can cram in there."

Why were third party harnesses banned? Surely they'd want sticking power over the ecosystem.

most of the users of those third party harnesses care just as much about hitting cache and getting more usage.

A month ago the company I work at with over 400 engineers decided to cancel all IDE subscriptions (Visual Studio, JetBrains, Windsurf, etc.) and move everyone over to Claude Code as a "cost-saving measure" (along with firing a bunch of test engineers). There was no migration plan - the EVP of Technology just gave a demo showing 2 greenfield projects he'd built with Claude Opus over a weekend and told everyone to copy…
A friend’s company fired all EMs and have engineers reporting to product managers. They aren’t allowed to do refactors because the CTO believes the AI doesn’t need organized code.

There's 0 chance of him facing the consequences for it either.

Why would any company release open weights once the investment money stops ? Releasing open weights have been basically a PR move, the moment those companies need to actually make money they will cut it out as that reduces their client base. They DO NOT want you to run AI. They want you to pay them to do it
open weights is a way to nerf your opponent and is meaningless to your business if you need to retrain a model because your trailing So, it makes a lot of sense to get people a "demo" and claim the paid product is better. i think a lot of people have no idea how capable local models are atm.
On slightly off topic note: Codex is absolutely fantastic right now. I'm constantly in awe since switching from Claude a week ago.
I would switch to Codex, but Altman is such a naked sociopath and OpenAI so devoid of ethical business practices that I can't in good conscience. I'm not under any illusion that Anthropic is ethical, but it is so far a step up from OpenAI.

Was something using that been banned?

"Anthropic now blocks first-party harness use too
claude -p --append-system-prompt 'A personal assistant running inside OpenClaw.' 'is clawd here?'
→ 400 Third-party apps now draw from your extra usage, not your plan limits.
So yeah: bring your own coin "
I canceled my subscription and switched to a codex, but it's not as good. I'm tired of Anthropic changing things all the time. I use Claude because it doesn't redirect you to a different model like OpenAI does. But now it seems like both companies are doing the same thing in different way.
