alt Hacker NewsSame. I stopped my Pro subscription yesterday after entering the week with 70% of my tokens used by Monday morning (on light, small weekend projects, things I had worked on in the past and barely noticed a dent in usage.) Support was... unhelpful.
It's been funny watching my own attitude to Anthropic change, from being an enthusiastic Claude user to pure frustration. But even that wasn't the trigger to leave, it was the attitude Support showed. I figure, if you mess up as badly as Anthropic has, you should at least show some effort towards your customers. Instead I just got a mass of standardised replies, even after the thread replied I'd be escalated to a human. Nothing can sour you on a company more. I'm forgiving to bugs, we've all been there, but really annoyed by indifference and unhelpful form replies with corporate uselessness.
So if 4.7 is here? I'd prefer they forget models and revert the harness to its January state. Even then, I've already moved to Codex as of a few days ago, and I won't be maintaining two subscriptions, it's a move. It has its own issues, it's clear, but I'm getting work done. That's more than I can say for Claude.

It seems like the big companies they're providing Mythos to are their only concern right now.
I havent been using my claude sub lately but I liked 4.6 three weeks ago. Did something change?
Its funny watching llm users act like gamblers. Every other week swearing by one model and cursing another, like a gambler who thinks a certain slot machine, or table is cold this week. These llm companies are literally building slot machine mechanics into their ui interfaces too, I don't think this phenomenon is a coincidence.
Stop using these dopamine brain poisoning machines, think for yourself, don't pay a billionaire for their thinking machine.

You were enthusiastic because it was a great product at an unsustainable price.
Its clear that Claude is now harnessing their model because giving access to their full model is too expensive for the $20/m that consumers have settled on as the price point they want to pay.
I wrote a more in depth analysis here, there's probably too much to meaningfully summarize in a comment: https://sustainableviews.substack.com/p/the-era-of-models-is...
