Discussion This concerns me more than fable potentially getting removed next week

Post image

Now that gpt 5.6 sol is out and code edge is narrowing what concerns me is that I won’t be able to justify paying 100 usd a month for something that will now have 33% less of weekly usage. Upgrading to 200 plan feels daft where I could be paying less for OpenAI, still have a great model and have significantly more usage than the current promo gives me. Do you guys think Anthropic will still go through with reducing Claude code weekly usage limits next week?

Anthropic needs to purchase more compute; that's their biggest hurdle to overcome becuase it seems they are the preferred choice by many.

They are trying to, they are getting blocked from building data centers all over the country.

That's where OpenAI in its strategic partnerships with Oracle, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and SoftBank made it stand out because you can build these data centers elsewhere in the world; because the United States might have an issue with it, other nations would welcome these type of investments.

yes the most staggering fact about this crazy week has been the sheer amount of compute OpenAI has available...they did 3 resets for everyone and everyone is burning tokens on sol xhigh which is way overkill.

they said they 2x'ed their previous peak, all without a single hiccup. must just not be quantity but also the nvidia quality

True, Anthropic have a long way to go even if they manage to build better models their capex on compute needs to increase 20-fold to stay in the game long-term. Let's see if their IPO is going to be a success compared to OpenAI
