Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw.
You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
You’ve completely plagiarized these ideas, ignoring the copyrights and license requirements of these open-source projects.
Many of them explicitly require that any software using their code must also be open-sourced.
What do your few trivial open-source toys even count for? Stop pretending here—open source the most advanced large models!
I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took.
Thank you for getting us to this point.

Anthropic just pulled the oldest trick in SaaS pricing.
I pay $200/mo for Claude Max. My limits have been noticeably worse this past week.
Now they announce 2x off-peak usage for two weeks. Sounds generous.
But here’s what actually happens: limits quietly drop, a temporary 2x makes the reduced limit feel normal, the promo ends, and you’re left at a baseline lower than where you started. You just didn’t notice the downgrade because the 2x absorbed the transition.
These AI plans are massively subsidized. The raw compute behind a heavy user costs multiples of the subscription price. Every move like this is the subsidy quietly correcting.
Very sneaky, Anthropic.
Anthropic just one shotted my 200k ARR business today.
I have reason to believe Anthropic saw the agent skills I had been making that create interactive charts based on RAG model strategy and user defined learning material.
I had hundreds of customers and half of them cancelled their membership today.
I made this learning textbook with interactive simulations and charts last night for my girlfriend who is studying for an interview.
Not sure what I’m going to do now.
