Many people likely objected to the original restriction because it seemed as though Anthropic was trying to impede the development of competing tools.

If I'm paying for compute, why should it matter whether I use Anthropic's harness (e.g., Claude Code) or a 3rd-party harness?

reply
Isn't their argument that third party harness dont play nice with their GPUs which is a fair argument.

With Claude Code they can predict what the traffic would look like with third party harness they cannot.

If that was the argument, why did they reverse it?

Anthropic is constantly destroying goodwill and now seems to be in panic mode.

reply
Yes, exactly.
