Company Updates
Ed Zitron noticed Anthropic apparently experimenting removing Claude Code from $20/mo plan to $100+/mo
Claude Code is very popular, but like all genAI, apparently, it costs the AI company more than they've been charging. There have been a lot of complaints about Anthropic throttling usage.
Today there were at least temporary signs that Anthropic is thinking of making new users, at least, pay $100/mo for its Max 5x plan to have any use of Claude Code, which has been available starting at the $20/mo Pro plan. (There's a more expensive Max plan, too, Max 20x for 20 times the Pro usage for $200/mo, but at least there isn't any indication yet that Anthropic is getting ready to ask all Claude Code users to pay $200/mo.)
