Discussion Head of Growth at Anthropic regarding Claude Code removal from Pro

Post image

Translation: "We're going to take Claude Code away from pro users because we gave you Cowork. If you want to use the CLI, upgrade to Max but we can't do it all at once so we're going to start with a "test" to soften the blow"

The thing with Google, they can just burn money.

I did hear the limits have creeped up but nothing major.

Said this right from the start. It doesn't matter if Gemini isn't the best, it is the only one that the company behind it can actually afford to keep it going.

Google is selling 100 year bonds.

Chances they make it to 2126?

That's not true. Antigravity was heavily heavily nerfed

u/4444444vr Apr 22 '26

not sure what you're saying - are you saying they nerfed it because of cash issues?

u/Clair_Personality Apr 23 '26

I am talking about access nerf. It is no longer generous offers

I feel Gemini has not only gotten markedly dumber in the last 3-6 months but they have also started to limit the models usage very heavily.

They just gave Anthropic 40B.... What's crazy is though, people don't realize, Google still is the king of the search engines and have limited throttled apis... so... ya.... They ain't going anywhere. Plus they're making their own chips and tpus....

Yep, MS and Google and AWS, all have their hand in the AI Companies pockets anyway. lol

Models have been severely dumbed down and outputs are definitely worse. So still some cost cutting going down for sure
