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

Hopefully the negative responses in that thread + the conversation here on HN might help them realize that totally removing Code access for Pro users isn't a good look.

And with no free trial period on top of that, nobody is going to want to pay $100+ just to check it out. I can't imagine the conversion rate of that test being positive.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 subscripti…

I had a bit of an epiphany the other day thinking about these VC companies offering products to the public at unsustainable prices. It's classic anticompetitive behavior. You imagine anticompetitive behavior to come from a monopoly b…

In physical markets we call this kinda thing dumping and it's often regulated. Maybe offering SaaS or compute at below profitable rates should be investigatable too, to avoid killing competitors too easily?

And this is why local AI is going to be the future.

Local AI is almost impossible right now with the prices of RAM and GPUs and the sizes of decent models. No way spending even an optimistic 10k, but more likely 20k, on a setup that is good for 5-6 months makes any financial sense.

Just get a Mac?

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

But the current plans are unsustainable and prices will have to be effectively raised sooner or later:

The clusterfuck about the various pages not being all upgraded to reflect the same story...

I thought we now had advanced tools to which we could ask to do things like: "Remove all mention of Claude Code in the Pro, but not in the Pro Max plan".

But apparently the CGI-days called and asked the webmaster to manually edit .html files one by one?

It would signal quite a fundamental pivot if their "Pro" plan excludes coding but supports personal productivity (Cowork). Quite surprising given most people attribute Anthropic's success to their elevation of coding above everything else. To have casual users locked out of that would be a major hit you would think. Makes me curious about the internal thinking. One theory being they are in a capacity crisis and knock…

It's possible that Anthropic sees that the loss of $20/mo customers could be offset by the customers purchasing the $100/mo plan

I just switched from the $10 Copilot subscription to a $20 Claude subscription to get general AI and coding in one bill. I guess I'll try out GPT Codex.

They will eventually converge --- it's only a matter of time.

Is Claude Code actually useful on the Pro plan?

I remember when they first added Claude Code to Pro — it was limited to Max initially — and my first thought was that it seemed kind of stupid, because at one fifth of my current limit, I would be hitting walls all the time...
