Nope, that’s not true, because they want you to pay for the higher subscription bracket.
replyThat strategy only makes sense if there's an abundance of tokens, but that's not the case. AI companies are spending a ton of resources on improving token efficiency because they are all severely GPU constrained. Anthropic instead nudges you to move to a higher tier by setting rate limits.
replyCan confirm — they got me paying $100/mo this way.
replyAlso I think it’s well known that OpenAI is the much less expensive option (in tokens and $$). For the same $20 you get a lot more mileage.
Curious if folks have strong opinions about the overall UX of OpenCode vs CC…
For me as well, at least this month to use more of Fable. We'll see if they extend Fable access because of people like me.
replyGenerally, companies with >150 people can’t use subs. So yeah, it’s mostly a funnel for devs/small companies to eventually vet for the product and convince their enterprise to use it as well.
replyWell since what you get for your subscription is unknown it would be trivial to get that result without burning tokens.
replyEspecially since compute is such a scarce resource.
If they wanted to play games with sub tiers they would just change the rate limits rather than wasting inference.
replyFlip side is customer psychology. Choosing a more expensive tier leaves better emotion.
replyAlso i doubt there was jira ticket with “make llm more verbose”, rather ticket with “bug makes llms too verbose” gets prioritised taking revenue impact into account.
Enterprise users are not paying a fixed fee, though
replyYeah, I strongly recommend against Claude Enterprise, it is ridiculously expensive and hard to control costs.
