#12What is going on? Why are everyone except OpenAI short on compute? Even Chinese ultra cheap providers are slowly reducing token plans or increasing prices.
I doubt it’s compute, Anthropic just bought a huge amount of capacity from xAI. I mean SpaceX. No, I mean SpaceXAI.
They’re trying to stop bleeding cash.

It’s not clear how much each token costs and how much it’s being subsidized. It was never meant to last, at some point the music was going to stop and you have to pay full price.

Anthropic will IPO soon and need to show good numbers. Everything happening in the next weeks/months is about that.
The others are trying to reduce their costs, you have to understand that nobody has a moat, and nobody is profitable. While at the same time the cost of energy and hardware is going up.

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well, to be fair, you cut the 6 important words that show the context: > We’re working on exciting changes that will make it feel like you’re getting more from Claude On the other hand, I think the biggest improvement they could do is allow using Claude Code subscriptions from third party harnesses with no strings attached.
There's a difference between making you feel and actually improving something. The word choice is definitely suspicious.
AI industry does everything on vibes :)

#16Interesting wording: [...] that will make it feel like you’re getting more from Claude

I think the problem is with the word feel. Reducing how much you get while saying it'll feel like you're getting more isn't usually a good thing. It's very weasely wording hoping most people will miss that and think what they said was that they're getting more, not that they'll _feel_ like they're getting more.

#17Why tech companies never price things according to what they really cost. This new strategy of entering the market at a loss and then cranking up prices is getting old.

#18Another week, another case of getting jerked around by Anthropic… I’m tired of my $200 subscription changing or threatening to change every 2 weeks or less. Not that I think OpenAI and “resets” is a life I want to live either. I guess we will see if they go through with this or if the backlash stops them, again.

To attract users :)

The question is probably more: How can it be legal to offer a service without specifying exactly what you're getting?

When a new restaurant opens in a college town, there will often be things like an opening day where everyone with a student card gets a free taco or whatever. Cheaper than buying a physical ad at the football stadium, and targets the people that might end up eating there multiple times a week (developers bringing Claude to their companies) rather than a bunch of people just in town for the game (Claude TV ads).
The training data flywheel though was probably as or even more important at least as of whenever it was that they switched it to opt out instead of opt in on subsidized subscriptions.
