Imagine a future where Anthropic holds your company hostage because no one can code properly anymore by hand and demands paying 200% higher price for the usage.
What can your company do?
No need to make up speculative futures based on a company only giving one model to their employees. I use Codex, Antigravity, Claude and GLM-5.2 interchangeably. Any sensible employer will do the same.
the company will switch to a different LLM vendor??
what does someone do when a certain brand coffee maker keeps breaking; they buy a different brand.
Hire developers who will be happy to take merely 100% higher rates?
Use an Anthropic competitor?
Won't it eventually be $1,000 or $5,000 a month? $5k a month would still be 97% less than many developers cost.

I would guess that they would want to at the very least 10x their prices. Remember they need to make up for training, marketing, etc.. and make a big chunk of profit on top of that to justify their trillion dollar evaluation
