you know how s bunch of IT people are trying to "escape the permanent underclass" well it seems like anyone building their tools on cloud providers is doing the opposite. theyre willingly bexoming the underclass in hopes it trickles down

I also made the switch to OpenAI, the $20 plan, I dunno about "so much better" but it's more or less the same, which is great! The models and tools levelling out is great for users because the cost of switching is basically nil. I'm reading people ITT saying they signed up for a year - big mistake. A year is a decade right now.

What issues did you consider about sending your code base to OpenAI?

None mate. Code is cheap, it's not worth anything any more, especially not my little personal projects

The open models may not be as great but maybe these are good enough. AI users can switch when the prices rise before it becomes sustainable for (some) of the large LLM providers.

Currently it costs so much more to host an open model than it costs to subscribe to a much better hosted model. Which suggests it’s being massively subsidised still.

You can use open models through OpenRouter, but if you want good open models they’re actually pretty expensive fairly quickly as well.

I'm out of the loop on Claude, hasn't it always been possible to use the Anthropic API with a tool like OpenClaw, paying per request? Is this limitation just for using your monthly subscription account?

Many people likely objected to the original restriction because it seemed as though Anthropic was trying to impede the development of competing tools.

If I'm paying for compute, why should it matter whether I use Anthropic's harness (e.g., Claude Code) or a 3rd-party harness?

Anthropic is really trying to burn all that goodwill they worked up by raising prices, reducing limits and making it impossible to know what the actual policies are.

It's almost like they want me to switch to the Chinese clones - which they consider malicious actors.

Even if Claude diffuses into the economy (still to be seen how much it can effectively penetrate sectors other than engineering, spam…

> But the problem is, they have no moat I disagree very strongly with this, both anecdotally and in the data - subscriptions are growing in all frontier providers; anecdata is right here in HN when you look around almost everyone is talking about CC, codex is a distant second, and completely anecdotally I personally strictly prefer GPT 5.3+ models for backend work and Opus for frontend; Gemini reviews everything that…

You're actually reinforcing my point. Models are interchangable and easy to switch between to adjust based on needs and costs. That means that no individual model / model provider has any sort of serious moat.

If tomorrow Kimi release a model better at something, you'd switch to it.
