It increases the gap between the rich and the poor. You think indie devs and individuals have the resources to pay per token? The direction Anthropic is taking is one that leads to more inequality, only this time it's intelligence inequality between small and large corps.

Anthropic also intentionally crippled the model when it comes to doing AI research. And then Karpathy (an AI researcher who defected to Anthropic) has the audacity to praise the model?

These decisions were already made by Anthropic (a company that actively wants AI regulation and banning of open source models) BEFORE the USG request to take down the model, so they can't blame the politics for this.

* Earthly reasons:

We were originally going to get 100% usage from June 9th to June 23rd (15 days)

If I want Fable-class of models, there's already GPT-5.5-pro (not accessible in Codex, for some reason) which I can use with my subscription. Nothing about Fable
