> has our executive team furious And yet they will continue to spend wheelbarrows full of money with Anthropic because they want so badly to reach the point where they can fire you.

I think there is alot of baseless fury behind your words, but my regular interactions with my leadership dont lead me to think they have the end goal of replacing labor. We're blessed to have leadership with technical backgrounds, so the tools are regarded more as significant intelligence enhancers of already exceptionally smart engineers, rather than replacements. Doesnt seem to us to be wheelbarrows of money, when…

“Baseless fury”

I’m glad your leadership isn’t trying to fire everyone. But in case you live under a rock, tech layoffs are at all time highs. Companies are rewarded by the public markets for laying off workers.

Simultaneously we have AI industry leaders warning of an employment apocalypse once AGI is achieved.

And you think it’s baseless. Have some class bro.

We've been running our 10 dev org on 8 H100s on open models (with some tweaks). Sure they aren't as good as the big providers but they 1. don't go down 2. have pretty damn high tok/s. It pays for itself. Posting with a fresh account because I'm not supposed to share these details for obvious reason. If you want help on setting this up, just reply with a way to reach you.

yea just buy 300k worth of hardware and bob's your uncle

One dev's salary to give a 10 person team unlimited approximately free agentic coding for the foreseeable future, plus privacy.

We're officially down to one 9 of uptime over last 90 days: https://status.claude.com

Can't they use Mythos to figure out their uptime?

They weren't able to use it to prevent Claude Code source code from leaking, or from some random Discord server from gaining access to Mythos.

Obviously there is only so much you can say; but is that $200K due to the raw number of seats you have, or are you burning through a lot on raw API usage? I guess I'm trying to understand, large business, or large usage.

we are in the SMB space, the spend is almost entirely usage for us at this point, rather than seat cost. For context, we are a software firm focused on difficult engineering problems, but I cant divulge much else.

Have you guys considered running your own local models? 200k a month is a ton of money and puts all your eggs in one basket. Or is it easier to just be able to run away from it all if you are done with it or something changes?

If you are paying API rates (not using Max subscriptions) there's no reason to use Anthropic's API directly, the same models are hosted by both AWS and Google with better uptime than Anthropic.

How do things like prompt caching etc play into that? Would I theoretically have a more stable harness backing my usage? Im seriously over the current claude experience. After seemingly fixing my 4.6 usage by disabling adaptive thinking and moving to max effort, it seems that the release of 4.7 has broken that workflow and Im 99% certain that disabling adaptive thinking does nothing even on 4.6 now. Just egregious er…

> Would I theoretically have a more stable harness backing my usage?

If you don’t mind an opinionated harness that asks for a pretty specific workflow, but one that works well, use OpenCode.

If you want to spread your wings and feel the sweet kiss of freedom, use Pi.

The spend at my organization has reached beyond the $200,000 per month level on Anthropic's enterprise tier. The amount of outages we have had over these past few months are astounding and coupled with their horrendous support it has our executive team furious. its alot of money to be spending for a single 9 of reliablility.

They must have hired absolutely incompetent leaders on the core software and infrastructure side. Sure their AI research is great but it’s amateur hour. Or just vibe coded slop top to bottom. It seems like every single day people are talking about outages or billing issues or secret changes to how Claude works.

theyre getting high on their own supply, and instead really need to hire some senior engineers

Maybe it will push companies to run them locally.

On what hardware? Like companies would buy up GPUs?

Presumably you'd buy really beefy laptops. The price delta between buying the most basic MacBook Pro possible (14", M5, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD) and one with the M5 Max with 40 GPU cores, 128 GB unified memory, 2 TB SSD is $3400. How much Claude usage does that get you/in what time does it pay itself back?

I guess if you think about your teammates as purely inputs and outputs and not people that can improve and contribute in the workplace in other ways.

It's genuinely hilarious how the same leadership pushing for RTO because getting people together creates magic, seems to have no issues trading those same people out for LLM's churning at specs.

Haha nail on head so the motive for ‘get your ass back in the office’ was never the motive we all heard

The enterprise tier is API pricing only. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9797531-what-is-the-e...
