Anthropic is probably the only AI company that is trying to stop absolutely hemorrhaging money and reach profitability and financial sustainability.

They aren't far off - they burn a tiny fraction of the cash of OAI and achieve similar ARR despite this - but as they tighten the belt it's inevitable that companies like OAI come in and offer more subsidized (unsustainable) inference to get people to switch. They will inevitably do the same "rug pull".

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

I love the interface of Claude Code but with these limits I’d be willing to use Codex. Anyone know if it’s possible to use Claude Code with other provider subscriptions (not API usage costs)?

This will just get worse, particularly when you consider just how shitty the US government is becoming at properly managing the basic necessities for stability.

IF you arn't planning a local LLm strategy, you're surely tying your lifeline to anchors.

that explains why i kept hitting limits this week

With the introduction of Opus 4.6 my bills went through the roof. I never burned budgets so fast with so few prompts since then.

I more and more use Codex, because token usage is a blackbox and I think that we will see the next couple of month the usual three tier model evolving: free, normal, luxury.

2027 will be the year of token regulation by administrations worldwide. Until then take care for being ripped of at the luxury level.
