Except one of the major other wrappers was pi, through OpenClaw. With countless hundreds of thousands of instances running every hour on that heartbeat.

I have no idea what the share of OpenClaw instances running on pi was, or third-party wrappers in general, but it was obviously large enough that Anthropic decided they had to put an end to it.

Conversely, from the latest developments, it would seem they are perfectly fine with people running OpenClaw with Claude models through Claude Code’s programmatic interface using subscriptions.

But in the end, this, my take, your take, is all conjecture. We are both on the outside looking in.

Only the people who work at Anthropic know.
