I used it today to take a look at my previously built design system with Logos, branding, fonts, and everything else. After a lot of annoying tweaking back and forth, finally, I got something that was satisfactory. Then I looked at the usage and it said I had used 95% of my Claude design usage for the week! This isn't a real tool. This is a plaything, if that's what they're providing as examples.

The industry will shift, yes. At some point, remote LLM compute will be like AWS. Everyone can do baremetal at home and run on it, or VMs, containers. Many don't. However, you'll still want the best model and toolset. So there is some place for them to pivot to. Something for them to sell or licence. It will be interesting to see where the all lands, a decade from now. Who will be left?
If you are using LLMs for tool use locally, then in a decade it will not make sense anymore to pay for hosted solutions. Your device will have compute power to run powerful LLMs trivially. If you need LLMs at scale to serve many customers, then hosted solutions make sense for the availability aspect. But by this point models can be offered by any generic services provider, like AWS or Cloudflare. Pure AI companies th…
LLMs a couple of years ago that'd be impossible to run on consumer hardware are now running on consumer hardware. I'm less concerned about compute power; it's more about memory.
It could be several years before new RAM capacity comes online. Even then, it won't be cheap.
I expect in the future, hosted frontier models will be a utility like electricity or cable tv. Part of a package most people will subscribe to.

Things to keep in mind: • Claude Design uses Opus 4.7, which is more expensive than earlier models. • It's just Day 2; it's not a finished product. It's ridiculous how quickly Anthropic iterates. • If you've been using Claude for a while, Design already knows your style and preferences. You'd have to start from scratch using a different AI design tool. I don’t doubt that'll pay dividends in the long run.
It will never be cheaper than what it is today. Anthropic is heavily subsidizing.
