Episode notes
Real Cost Impact on AIbox
- AIbox's CTO noticed Anthropic's max plan causing a big change in their cloud credits cost.
- They went from spending $100 every two days to a $200 monthly plan that drastically reduced expenses.
Max Plan Too Generous
- The $200 max plan delivers usage far beyond expected value, about $1,000 worth of API calls daily.
- This generosity likely forces Anthropic to tighten limits and causes user frustration.
Lack of Transparency Hurts Trust
- Anthropic imposed tighter usage limits with minimal communication, causing user confusion and loss of confidence.
- Users experienced abrupt errors and unclear changes to subscription service without official announcements.
