I understand preferring Claude models in the abstract, but as a product? The random restrictions have significantly reduced their usability.
We had 2 major threads in the past 48 hours complaining about this:
* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50319358 (AI/ML work with large models)
* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50320255 (reverse engineering)
The threads are full of upset comments!
The only non-OAI options are open models and I guess Gemini 4 now.

I decided on my OAI subscription when comparing mainly due to reports like those. GPT-Sol has been happily assisting me in reverse engineering efforts without any issues. I very strongly dislike an AI model or company deciding what my morals are for me.

I've only started hitting the anthropic blocks in the last week or so, I get much more blocks from openai/codex. This plus the recent reductions in usage allowance on both are finally pushing me to look elsewhere. I've had the highest level x20 subs for both since they came out, but I'm getting 5x the value/price from DeepSeek at this point.

Anyone building products on cloud models is building in a swamp, a sand trap, a flood zone.
Anyone whose buainess wont be competitivw without a cloud model is going to lose their business.
Any government letting cloud models consume its private infrastructure is yielding its authority to private intetests.
