This title is ridiculous and needs to be fixed.

Feels like the real issue isn’t policy but pricing models

Anthropic is trying so hard to be Apple they are doing all the mistakes Apple made during its first day

Anthropic keeps conflating two distinct strategies — be the best model for developers to build on, or be the company that ships Claude Code. Those two have opposite policy conclusions. Restricting third-party harnesses maximizes Claude Code revenue; allowing them maximizes model-layer lock-in through developer habit. The whiplash is the symptom of not picking. Pick for crying out loud!

Swapped my OpenClaw to Claude again. I played around with Gemini and Chinese models in past month but it didn’t work for me.

This is a perfect example of how quickly you can burn through trust that took a long time to earn. I used to be - in my small circle of friends and peers - a genuine advocate for Anthropic and Claude. It was my sole AI assistant for over a year. But somewhere around February/March, something shifted. Declining quality, policy changes, inconsistent output. Nothing dramatic, just... a slow erosion.

That erosion pushed me to try Codex. I signed up for their most expensive pro plan. Now I'm about to experiment with Kimi. I'm not saying they're better (well, sometimes they are). But here's the thing - what Anthropic did is they made me look. They made a loyal customer start shopping around. And I think that's the worst thing you can do.

Having said that - as an LLM provider for my product, we're staying with Claude. I still trust in their ethics. Please don't prove me wrong.

Interesting perspective on AI CLI tools. The Anthropic policy clarification is a significant development for the developer community. Would be curious about the implementation details.

Probably somewhat worried about users shifting to the Grok API if they have to

Correct title: OpenClaw says Anthropic said OpenClaw-style Claude CLI usage is allowed again

Can we get OpenCode support back as well?
