alt Hacker NewsI do admit to feeling some schadenfreude over them reacting to their product being leeched by others.
I get it though, Anthropic has to protect their investment in their work. They are in a position to do that, whereas most of us are not.

Hey! It was a lot of work stealing everything from you, of course you have to pay me a premium to get access to it!

Viewed another way, the preferential pricing they're giving to Claude Code (and only Claude Code) is anticompetitive behavior that may be illegal.
They cannot actually do this as long as they keep Claude code open source. It is always going to be trivial to replicate how it sends requests in a third party tool.
Seems like another donation to python is coming to mitigate this pr scandal
They’re not literally blocking OpenCode. You can use OpenCode with their API like any other tool.
They’ve blocked the workaround OpenCode was using to access a private API that was metered differently.
Any tool that used that private endpoint would be blocked. They’re not pushing an agenda. They’re just enforcing their API terms like they would for any use.
