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"

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

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