Earlier quoted context omitted.

"HN pretends that companies have morals: Part 48,037,986"

Counterpoint: Valve Which is kind of like the exception that proves the rule hahaha

Valve isn't moral, they're just privately owned. CS cases have given them enough fuck-you money to rehabilitate their image in any way they see fit.

They're doubling the five hour limits, but no mention about the weekly limit. So overall it's the same maximum usage, right?

I think so, but that's also really great because I frequently run into the five hour caps, but very rarely use my entire weekly allotment. There are lots of situations where I do things like write the plan for all the work that has to get done, and then set a reminder to execute the plan after I get home, when I'm done making dinner (because e.g. my five hour cap ends at 6pm). Higher caps for the five hour period is a lot more convenient.

I wonder if it's just Elon realising that xAI can't beat OpenAI and thus deciding to give all his compute capacity to Anthropic instead. Certainly an interesting day for xAI.

Building datacenters plays to his strengths. It's a good partnership if he can stomach it.

I would think that stomaching Musk would be the hard part. Just goes to show how compute-constrained Anthropic is at this time.

He literally did a Nazi salute on stage, twice! Check the video, and tell me what you see.

> Looks like Elon's finally giving up on XAI and just selling the compute

I don't think that's certain yet, but I do think that the open-source models like Gemma and Qwen are getting so good so fast that even Anthropic has real risk around the long-term value of their models and tooling.

Basically, if I'm Anthropic or xAI, I try to get revenue whenever and wherever possible and see what sticks. There's no value in playing for monopolistic control when everything is so volatile.
