It's just one brand: Copilot

That's pretty sweet upgrade!

Seems fine to me for the consumer facing product terms lol

Have you met kids? They’re devious, tech knowledgeable, and scheming and can find ways around any rule. Plus, no matter how good of a parent you are, you’re somewhat at the mercy of their friends’ parents as well. I can block TikTok from my daughter’s phone, but can’t block her from watching her friend’s phone while she’s out of the house.

I dont think parents going up against psychologists, data scientists, product managers and software engineers with the best pay in the world is any kind of fair fight.

Seems fine to me. Why do people think they are entitled to use heavily subsidized services outside of the tools it's intended to work with per terms.

Was it always clear that you're not supposed to use the Claude API this way?

I don't think Anthropic has a problem with you using a regular pay-per-token API key with opencode. The issue is letting someone use their "Log in with Claude" as if it were a regular API key.

Yes.

Ok then it's fine

Why would they? They were first with CLAUDE.md. Others could have adopted to that if they wanted. Don’t see a reason for Claude to change their approach.

Being a good citizen of the commons means not hard-coding things specific about your product as a standard. ChatGPT or Gemini using a file called "CLAUDE" doesn't make sense. The first mover doesn't just automatically win.

It’s similar to or better than Opus 4.5 as per benchmarks, while being 2x-3x cheaper, definitely worth it over Opus 4.6, if cost/tokens is the concern.

To remind, Opus 4.5 was SOTA 2-3 weeks ago.

Yes but Opus 4.6 is a massive step up. Some applications don’t need that power though.

You don't need to use their cloud. You can keep it all local, and use VPN to log in and view stuff.

Well they `acquired` groq for a reason.
