Anthropic API

“Anthropic has made their arguments (that I disagree with) that model outputs, no matter how much user context was fed, do not fall under their definition of "user data".”

“Anthropic is unsurprisingly leading the race to the bottom of the barrel by requiring moderator reviews for API customers.”

“$200 free credits from Anthropic are stupid simple to use”

“it will just start charging you API prices for the tokens you are generating without even a single warning”

“It's pretty reliable, though sometimes just because of where the doorbell camera is it can't clearly see the bins.”

“There is no reason to pay API prices for Anthropic and OpenAI if they don't cut them down 100x at least.”

“I also have openai and anthropic direct API billing set up for hosted and client projects”

“The idea OpenAI or Anthropic won't train on your data—even with an enterprise contract—is a fantasy at best”

“Do you want your company's sales and customer service to shut down every time OpenAI or Anthropic goes down?”

“Anthropic is also so insanely expensive for everything”

“And you're claiming Anthropic and OpenAI are not doing the same thing?”

“Experimenting can be pricey but early on I spent my own money thinking "if I can get a handle on how to do this I'll get a 100x return on my money" and it was a good bet.”

“If you want stable costs, the API plan is right there.”

“how are they a near trillion dollar company with models so good they are treated as weapons yet have almost no 9's of uptime”

“when they say they store your data for 30 days and review it for "issues", it makes your "spider sense" tingle”

“if a customer is actually using their api to the limits they set, they lose money”

“their API has a model selection anyone can understand and pricing that rarely changes”

“We find OpenAI, Anthropic and Fireworks (which we use a lot) all have higher cache hit rates.”

“Anthropic has a massive API platform with things like Sessions, Files, and Agents”

“due to the reliability of Anthropic’s API, less of a friction despite slower response times”

“my work handed me a bottomless anthropic API key to use for claude code”

“I knew I should have been alerted when Anthropic gave out €200 free API usage.”

“The API offers that. Pay X per month, get Y tokens.”

“The API is there. It's straightforward and easy to use.”

“Publishing this list proactively rather than only on request is a positive signal”

“I think only Anthropic's API would give enough control to do this today”

“They have a separate product intended for use with general tools: Their API.”

“it's quite telling that when adding API keys for Anthropic, it presents a note inbetween reading "Experiencing Issues? Check Anthropic status"”

“If it's the exact shape of Anthropic's API, the difference is surely minor”

“I can't use any of my cards (personal or corporate) for OpenAI or Anthropic.”

“I spent about 500 dollars and 16 hours of conversation to get an MVP static marketplace”

“The API gives you the same flexibility without the risk of getting your account suspended.”

“I’ve grown very accustomed to the model and would rather not switch until I find a real need to.”

“The price difference between the regular API and the Oauth API is too large.”

“You can use their API on a pay-per-use basis, or (as I interpreted the agreement) you can prepay as a subscription”

“If you don't want to use CC, just use the API”

“just use the API which doesn't lock you into any client”

“It's pretty easy to hit a couple hundred dollars a day filling up Opus's context window with files.”

“Within seconds I got an email from Anthropic and they have already disabled my keys.”
