Hi, Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan. Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago. (a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want. (b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions. (c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent. (d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet. I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news. Codexingly, Tibo

ANTHROPIC JUST FILED FOR IPO The numbers are pretty wild since the growth is insane but so is the infrastructure bill: • Revenue: $4.59B (+1,088% YoY) • GAAP net loss: $41.97B • Compute spend: $7.3B (58% of total OpEx) • Cash: $20.3B

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5.5, the second model in the Claude 5.5 family. It’s a clear upgrade over Sonnet 5, runs more than 30% faster, and costs up to 30% less for most work.

JUST IN: Bill Gates warns AI is powerful enough to cause "a billion deaths."

Once a month --> once a week --> every single day. Keeping up with new model launches is a full time job.

RIP Cursor, the grok 4.7 release kinda screwed Cursor value because other models don't get enough usage it's extremely limited so having cursor is purely for grok and composer which both are pretty much behind at the moment. I don't see the point of having cursor sub right now.

BREAKING: Anthropic’s new wet lab produces its first discovery, with nearly 1,000 Claude agents autonomously uncovering a novel enzyme system after 21 hours of work.

Holy cats I did not expect this post to blow to the far reaches of the internet. Since the internet loves to spin everything to fit their own biases, time to clear things up a bit: - Yes, I am seriously considering a career outside of software development. Most professional software developers I've talked to that have been in the industry for a long time feel the same as me—overwhelmed and/or bored. People that weren't developers before don't seem to care or understand this. But it's also kind of hard to switch careers when you're almost 40, so maybe I'll be stuck doing this until we're all robot slaves on UBI. -About half the comments misunderstood why I want to leave software development. I want to leave because I'm bored. I've coded for 20 years, enjoyed it very much, and now I don't code. Not a very surprising outcome. I'm sure if you took any craft tradesman and put them into a factory to build the same thing, 90% would want to quit. - No the industry is not dead, it's just shifting. I just have no interest in shifting with it. There will be less software engineers for sure but they aren't going away entirely. - I will still continue to support my assets and release the assets I had planned (Water Pro v4, Fire Pro, potentially the rivers add-on not sure yet). After that, I have no idea what I'll do. - People seem to think I am anti-AI. This is hilarious because I've always been very transparent about my AI usage and talked about it on here often. Personally do I think AI is good for humanity? Absolutely not. But as someone who is self-employed, it's either adapt or die. -For some reason people think my post was engagement bait or grifting? What better way to get new customers than to tell them "Hey, you can make all of my assets with AI in 10 minutes so I'm closing shop!" Tongue-in-cheek obviously, but what a ridiculous take on my post. Alright, done talking about this.
