Anthropic cuts OpenClaw access from Claude subscriptions, offers credits to ease transition
"Both me and @davemorin tried to talk sense into Anthropic, best we managed was delaying this for a week. Funny how timings match up, first they copy some popular features into their closed harness, then they lock out open source."
"Funny how it works for literally any other player in the AI industry, we support subscriptions from MiniMax, Alibaba, OpenCode, GLM, OpenAI."
"This is more about engineering constraints. Our systems are highly optimized for one kind of workload, and to serve as many people as possible with the most intelligent models, we are continuing to optimize that."
Peter Steinberger announced a one-week delay in OpenClaw's implementation after discussions with Anthropic. He criticized the timing of product changes, suggesting a pattern of copying features before restricting open source access. Steinberger emphasized that OpenClaw supports subscriptions from various AI providers, countering claims of intellectual dishonesty. Cherny addressed open source concerns, stating that engineering constraints drive their decisions, and highlighted ongoing optimizations to serve users effectively with intelligent models.
