Nice AI white pill today

wow - this is huge!
anthropic is officially walking back their decision about banning programmatic use of claude code subscription quota
why is this a big deal?
this is a signal that anthropic is revisiting their ecosystem strategy which many of us have been criticizing
by allowing invoking claude code programmatically, anthropic will basically extend their subsidized subscription to power a much wider range of applications, not just their own, which effectively means they are leaning more into being an infrastructure provider rather than the super app that eats everything else
they still have more to do to gain back my trust as a developer but this is a very positive change and i'm happy to see anthropic revisiting their strategy

After Anthropic rolled out the Agent SDK, lots of devs built cool integrations on top of it, because it “legally” used the more generous Claude Code Max subs. Then Anthropic did a rug pull, moving it to API pricing, no warning.
And now they’re walking back… for how long tho?

@garrytan really hard to plan tooling around this kind of flip flopping

@garrytan does this mean we can go back to using our Claude sub in OpenClaw instead of the API?

@garrytan I’ve been working around Claude with almost everything because of this API cost hit. Guess we’re good now?
