- lunar_mycroft 5mo agoRight, they can do it to sell enterprise plans, but they can't offer said plans to those enterprise customers indefinitely. So if your employer wants to spend $200/month on tokens, you're going to get however many tokens $200 buys you each month, not the order of magnitude more you can get with a consumer subscription.
- wahnfrieden 5mo agoThat’s what I’m saying. Enterprise customers don’t use the subscription plan
- addedGone 5mo agoExcept that they do, we do. A lot of startups pile up enormous amount of accounts, companies don't need the Enterprise Anthropic solution, they can just subscribe to many accounts and have their own staff KYC for each (1 codex, 1 claude, 1 google and so-on).
- Bnjoroge 5mo agoI imagine it’s also really trivial to build some kind of local “enterprise” proxy that gives you the same visibility in usage as the anthropic dashboard would give you. I use one for aggregating all my subs.
- lunar_mycroft 5mo agoThat will be clamped down on by Anthropic (and other providers) for the same reason they don't offer those plans to enterprise customers already.
- addedGone 5mo agoYes, but why not do that while it's available?
- wahnfrieden 5mo agoStartups do but do you know large enterprises that do?
- ilikehurdles 5mo agoWe definitely pay enterprise api costs. Only way to get google vertex integration, and Enterprise is too sensitive to let all of their data leave their moat.
