From Amol, who is the Head of Growth: > For clarity, we're running a small test on ~2% of new prosumer signups. Existing Pro and Max subscribers aren't affected. https://x.com/TheAmolAvasare/status/2046724659039932830

Once again random tweets from insiders being the only clues we have to what Anthropic actual policy is

> When we launched Max a year ago, it didn't include Claude Code, Cowork didn't exist, and agents that run for hours weren't a thing. Max was designed for heavy chat usage, that's it.

Is there a wager that this is 100% foreshadowing Claude Code will be removed from the $100-200/month Max plans soon and go to something like API-only? Or only available on like a new $500-1,000/month plan? Restrict the $100-200/month ones to Claude.ai (website) or Claude desktop app only?

Either way, doesn't seem good to say it's a small test and then start justifying it in this direction.

This is the dumbest PR tactic in the book, and it annoys me that it works on so many people.

April: "The fact that we're doing X isn't news because we're only starting to do X"

August: "The fact that we've fully rolled out X isn't news because we started X in April"

Apparently it's just an A/B test. Legit LMAO moment, speedrunning reputation destruction to your entire userbase just to test a question whose answer you can probably already guess. --- > For clarity, we're running a small test on ~2% of new prosumer signups.

big fan of A/B tests that dehumanize the consumer into some kind of money making lab rat funnel whose only purpose is to be experimented on how you can extract more money out of it

I have a Claude Pro tier subscription; Claude Code, as of right now, is still functional for me. If Anthropic does boot Pro-tier users off Claude Code, I will be cancelling my subscription.

I paid for the annual Pro plan in January...I know this mentions new users right now, but is there a chance they just take Code away?!

They would probably grandfather existing users in for at least a year or something, you have to imagine. Even if this "test" goes very well and points to removal

Anthropic’s “Head of Growth” claims this is a “test”: https://x.com/TheAmolAvasare/status/2046724659039932830 This does not explain the changes to documentation.

It is honestly truly fucking incredible how corps still find new, innovative ways to enshittify. Regular enshittification won't cut it, they have to exercise their artistic creativity. Who the fuck comes up with the idea that what services you get with your subscription are random? It's mind-boggling that some percentage of people visiting the website will be presented with an inferior version of the same subscription for the same price. I'm not even mad (despite my colorful wording), I don't use Claude, just impressed with the bold new territory being explored here.

At least for me Claude Code is still working on my Pro plan. I don't know if that's because the change simply hasn't propagated all the way through their systems yet (the change is now up on the main Claude pricing page and on their support pages, but not on the Claude Code landing page yet), or if it's because existing plans are grandfathered in, or what. In general Anthropic seems to be pretty bad at clearly commun…

How long until OpenAI remove Codex from their cheap plan? Should we instead use a generic coding agent with a particular model and just pay per token?

pretty sure the codex cli itself is open source (and written in rust!) and can be used with any model.

Wait what, so they're testing giving new users misleading information about included services in each tier as an upsell tactic?

It could be an A/B test to see whether people without an existing subscription care about Claude Code (CC) at all. If they sign up then CC is disabled (or not as it is not really an issue to offer more). Capturing that info would definitely be useful to a growth team.
