Who is still using Anthropic seriously, their price and limits are ridiculous these days, you can't get anything done unless you're paying top dollar on a metered pricing at ridiculous levels. Subscriptions only get you frustrated, and any agentic pipeline that needs to make a profit, that has actual margins, I seriously doubt is using any of their models.

Who is using it? when everyday they have issue with capacity, clearly some people are using it and using it heavily.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The way they keep spinning off these niche offerings tells you one of 2 things, it's either working pretty well, or it is failing very, very badly. They know they need to differentiate from other offerings that are catching up, but I don't know anyone who has just left their work up to any of these specialised products. Most try it say "it's interesting" and then move on.

>> The way they keep spinning off these niche offerings tells you one of 2 things, it's either working pretty well, or it is failing very, very badly. You posited two extremes, with no evidence for either, and with no other possibilities in between, or even outside the spectrum. That's beyond mere conjecture: it's just nonsense. I hope you realize that.

Maybe at this point it's all nonsense. I can only speculate with the framing of what what would lead me to barely push into so many verticals with no follow up.

> Who is still using Anthropic seriously...Subscriptions only get you frustrated If you're using Claude in a pair-programming/"exoskeleton" sense, you'll probably never get close to maxing your subscription allotment unless you really lean on Fable. The "you can't get anything done" comment confounds me, frankly.

That's a fair pushback, I'm sure there are ways to get value out of it if you lean less on it and have a slower more supervised workflow.

To share more on my comment, that was when contrasting it with the competition and their credit allowances.

If we go by your scenario, then you could get even more with just a $20 plan from some of the others.

>Retailers running shopping agents on Claude have seen carts up to 35% larger and shoppers 60% more likely to complete a purchase. I feel like this is a messed up thing to brag about. From dark patterns now to whatever this is. Like a dark nudge from something that can appear intelligent, acting as a person, with the goal of selling more and more.

It's all part of the capitalism end game. Almost no Silicon Valley startup is about supplying actual value.
