Apart from local AI, a serious choice is aggregated API such as new-api [0]. An API provider aggregated thousands of accounts has much better stability than a single account. It's also cheaper than the official API because of how the subscription model works, see e.g. the analysis [1].

- gruez 6mo ago>An API provider aggregated thousands of accounts has much better stability than a single account Isn't this almost certainly against ToS, at least if you're using "plans" (as opposed to paying per-token)?
- woctordho 6mo agoYou don't even need to be a customer served by Anthropic or OpenAI so the Terms of Service are irrelevant. That's how I live in China and use almost free Claude and GPT which they don't sell here.
- gruez 6mo agoWait, is this just something like openrouter, that routes your requests to different API providers, where you're paying per-token rates? Or is this taking advantage of fixed price plans, by offering an API interface for them, even though they're only supposed to be used with the official tools?
- woctordho 6mo agoIt's taking advantage of fixed price plans or even free plans.
- throwaway27448 6mo agoThat seems like Anthropic's problem.
- gruez 6mo agoIt's going to be quickly your problem when they figure out you're breaching ToS and ban your account.
- throwaway27448 6mo agoSo... I make another account? Problem solved.
- hananova 6mo agoThe whole point of these services is that it’s not your account. It’s very much anthropic’s problem, and honestly I don’t care they’re getting ripped off.
- Chu4eeno 6mo agoconsidering it has things like a turnstile "handler", I'm assuming it attempts to abuse the free chat interface.
