Well I don't think Anthropic are morons, that's not the point I was making. Yes, I'm frustrated with Anthropic killing my direct API account for silly reasons, with no response. But actually I really appreciate Anthropic's models for code, their deep safety research with Constitutional AI, interpretability studies etc. They are certainly guilty of having scaling and customer service issues, and making the wrong call with a faulty moderation system (for you too, and many others it seems like)! But a lot of serious AI safety research that could literally save all our skin is being done by Anthropic, some of the best. On OpenAI's API Platform, I am on Tier 5! It's unfortunate Anthropic have acted less commercially savvy than OpenAI (at the time, at least). I have complained on HN and I think on Twitter before about my account to no avail, after emailing before. But yeah, usually I just use them via OpenRouter these days, it's a shame that I must use it for API access. I get the impression that a lot of OpenAI researchers went to Anthropic, which essentially is the first OpenAI splinter group. I think this is a sign of a serious, more healthy intellectual culture. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do next.
