What 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.

That data center was setup wrongly, is broken and unusable for training. Its amazing Musk manages to fool even Anthropic.

Why 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.

This is not limited to tech companies! Underpricing is a very often applied method to enter/grow/develop a market.

Nothing is priced according to what they really cost. Things are priced at what the market will bear based on supply and demand. You might as well ask this question for oil, iphones, bitcoin, restaurants, or housing the answer is all the same.

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 t…

Right, and while you are getting your free taco you can probably ask for a copy of the menu so you can know if you are able to afford it

One thing is offering free demos or discounted products for a short time and a different one is making your consumers believe that the current price is the long term price.

I just want transparency. Are they done increasing prices?

You can still find honest companies providing correctly priced services. Purelymail.com handles my email. There are many VPS hostars, cloud storage providers etc with honest pricing.

I pay a $100 subscription which feels infinite for me, even using only fable... 2 weeks ago I started getting notifications of running out of credit... to me it feels more like 30% than 17%... OHHHH and surprise, I'm in my 50% boosted/higher limits... so this means I'll probably hit the $100 limit now constantly... I use the thing a bit... yesterday and it shows 14% of the week allocation used...
