The behind the scenes element you're not aware of is Anthropic is going to companies reliant on their models and demanding HUGE one time fees (100 million+) to continue using their models or they will be cut off. This has happened to several larger companies I and others are invested in.
This resulted almost every time in "screw off we'll train our own models or use refined open source ones instead" leading to a lot of anger at Anthropic by CEOs these days.
We all want an alternative and Anthropic and OpenAI need to charge more than they are worth to pay back their investors and everyones stuck now.

- postalcoder 3mo agoPretty sure he’s talking about Cursor and other ai coding startups. There was a lot of drama between the two in the past year and iirc anthropic cut their capacity.
