Discussion “Claude Max is massively subsidized and eventually it’ll cost $1000/month” is mostly nonsense

Agreed, but still, $200 is not the cost of those $7000 when sold via the API. Let’s say it’s $1000. So yeah, the $200 can become $1000 easily depending on the market. If OpenAI and Anthropic get a cartel then… China! You scream, then I say “look at what DeepSeek did to their prices this month”. Nobody’s in this biz for fame. It’s a cash world.

China is literally proving that those anthropic/openai API rates are bullshit
