Most real businesses are on API billing, not Max.
My company currently uses the Anthropic Enterprise subscription plan, but we’ve been informed that’s going away in 2027 in favor of API billing. If businesses are using subscriptions, I don’t think they will for long.
So their minimum workable offer for devs just went from $17 to $100. Also, I don't see how the Pro subscription is relevant anymore. Nobody pays $17 a month just to chat. I just unsubscribed. :) Time to try Chat GPT Codex, which even works with the free subscription (don't expect crazy token allowance, of course).
> I just unsubscribed. :) Existing subscriptions are not impacted according to Tweets from their team. It’s apparently an A/B test they’re rolling out. If you actually wanted the $20/month Claude Code plan you may have just shot yourself in the foot.

I've been running pi.dev + codex (GPT-5.4) for a long time for my workhorse stuff. Actually tried caveman mode yesterday and it made everything SO MUCH BETTER. GPT-5.4 has a habit of being extremely verbose to a ridiculous degree, it's like it's writing a report for a CTO or something and padding everything as much as possible to sound smart. With caveman it just gives me lists of stuff in a compact format. Perfect.
let's be clear(er) here that you like caveman's format and output, so that's one value of "better". I've seen at least a few (n < 10, so there's that) tests on token use and for THAT value of "better" it's not much different.
What I appreciate is the terse answers it gives to me. I don't need a padded essay on what the issue is or what was fixed. Give me the bullet points.

That's literally any software subscription ever.
So you're perfectly okay with repeatedly paying for a shit product, getting shat on by the company in the form of being tested for feedback, and "maybe" getting a better product in the future. Mind you, that "better" isn't necessarily better for you but more explicitly better for the company you're paying . Sounds like someone who doesn't care about being a sheep. Or maybe someone whose salary depends on having sheep…

The machines in those sectors do not cost nearly as much as doing the same work manually. Not even close.
Of course not, but they cost more than the person using them, it's multiplying the productivity of that person, so if AI multiplied enough as well it would make sense.
The question was whether the salaries that would have been paid for the working hours replaced by the machine are a realistic yardstick for the market price of the machine.
That's clearly not the case in any industry.

Are you counting the fakes and the bots? Moreover, as sibling pointed out, content creator != visitor. If Reddit was a representative sample of reality, all governments in the West would have been ran by gay race Communists.
I have to ask - are you a bot? You seem to be making some very strong and misinformed statements here. You can fixate on the number if you like, but calling Reddit homogeneously radical left or 'very small', is pretty stupid.

pretty much none of these big providers are offering the guarantees needed to be taken seriously in workplaces right now. the technology itself isn't offering the deterministic guarantees that should warrant it in the workplace right now. problem is everyone's foot is just on the gas. even if your workplace isnt paying for it, people are just straight up rolling their own personal claude accounts to do work at orgs.…
What are you guys subscribed to if not Claude? Copilot? Or is everyone legit bringing their own license?
Then one extra Claude Pro. Then also:
Codex business for a test month. gpt-5.4 was excellent.
And since kimi-2.6 I bought their monthly for testing. Works fine. Not as excellent as opus, but usable. Fixes tricky problems by its own.
Not an OpenRouter subscription yet. Those models are either free on opencode anyway, or not good enough. The free MinMax 2.5 on opencode is pretty usable also.

The thinking appears to be that a model that can do the work of a developer must be worth a significant share of a developer salary. I think this idea is flawed. Developer salaries are driven up by scarcity - scarcity of developer skills overall and scarcity of developer skills in specific places like California. If AI models destroy the scarcity then the price worth paying for a coding agent will drop dramatically.…
But if e.g. a developer can do 50% more, shouldn't it be worth it to pay up to 50% of developer salary for the product? So the % is debatable of course. There's cases where an AI agent can save weeks worth of investigation, there's cases where you are mainly blocked due to processes, and many different circumstances. It's up to every company on their own to decide it. But if they decide it's 50%, why shouldn't they s…
Got all my tickets from the last two years fixed on a few days. And implemented all the ideas which came to my head.
Anthropic’s “Head of Growth” claims this is a “test”: https://x.com/TheAmolAvasare/status/2046724659039932830 This does not explain the changes to documentation.
I don’t get the surprise or discontent. People hooking themselves up to a paid SaaS that only two vendors can offer (Anthropic and OpenAI), no competition or regulation to speak of… of course they’ll do whatever they want with their plans. Hope you can still resume working on your projects without AI.
How often does technology really move backwards? I can already run a decent local model on a spec’d out MacBook and for better or worse electronics/computers moves one direction (with minor supply chain hiccups along the way notwithstanding)
