Other technical operators reported similar sudden Claude access cuts
I got a good nights sleep and I’m still just as angry about Anthropic’s choices.
I enjoy working in AI so much and to have my access to the cutting edge models for my work rugpulled in an under the table fashion is appalling.
I expected to be restricted eventually, but not now, and to be told it directly.
Many users expressed anger and disappointment toward Anthropic's unexpected cuts to model access without warning, seeing them as trust-breaking, overly restrictive, and anti-progress.
To me this paints Anthropic clearly as anti science, and therefore anti progress and anti safety.

@natolambert It’s completely changed my relationship towards Claude (Code). I feel really weird using it. Going to try to shift my usage to Codex. I’ll see if it sticks this time- I’ve tried to switch in the past but kept coming back to CC’s better interface.

@natolambert Had a perfect 8 hours sleep. Woke up feeling frustrated too.

yeah exactly the same, it's been quite a weird day for me so far (EU time), there is little things like codex being fast which make my brain telling me the output will be bad 😂
oh and also i miss quite a lot claude for reading paper i miss a lot claude, i guess could still use it but it just feels super weird :(
@natolambert Was this not obvious already? It's the most woefully out of touch group of individuals in the field. They genuinely believe they are doing the right thing because they are better than you and will make more responsible decisions, just like this one.
@natolambert Disappointed yes, but surprised? Surely not
@matanSF I’m a bit surprised still, mostly in the method of how they did it.
@natolambert I understand why you’re frustrated, but refusing to help the CCP or unvetted third parties does not make them anti-science or anti safety. Given their reasoning, they are acting quite rationally, and it seems to me that this is the best way to proceed.
@finbarrtimbers @natolambert I feel like I had hired a contractor, and they came out and said they wouldn't send their best employees because the firm didn't agree with my work.
How can I trust whoever they do send? opus / sonnet?
@finbarrtimbers I feel like I can’t use it. Need to figure out a new long term solution for my workflows which pretty much all discuss frontier ai of some form
@natolambert Do you think it’s plausible that other model providers have similar policies, even if undisclosed?
I remember I had some fear about openai being the only ones to have plans 'forever'.
I tell myself that it's temporary, This lead won't last. We my not like some of their personality traits but I am happy Elon and Sam, such ferocious competitive people lead competing enterprises to anthropic.
I am also happy China does what it does, and Nvidia is in the open model game.
@finbarrtimbers @natolambert Codex is actually lowkenkinuinely better than opus
@Ymirpcl @natolambert Again the issue is secretly sandbagging, they are ofc within their rights to restrict access generally
@finbarrtimbers @natolambert Use the Codex app, is so much better
@natolambert @MaximeRivest Couldn’t use Fable 5 for even a basic tasks in Healthcare. Had to fallback on Opus 4.8, but I am worried this becomes a thing! What if Anthropic extends these limits to the next Opus model!
@natolambert Wtf @FTC what are we even doing here? For what other product or service would it be acceptable to bait and switch like this???? Why isn’t @SenWarren making a big stink this instead? What a joke.
Yesterday should have been a triumph for Anthropic. In some ways it was. But it also damaged trust in ways that will take time and change to repair. (These 5 tweets were sequential in my feed this morning.)
@Ymirpcl @natolambert It is evil to secretly sandbag answers, that’s my opinion it’s okay if you disagree
@finbarrtimbers @natolambert also did this previously - fwiw I feel that you can work around some of the differences once you get more used to codex
