Anthropic is a bit nuts, I had $260 of credits on my max account for the extra usage the other night. It was expiring, so I figured I'll fire up an agentic swarm to deep dive and make some deep changes to some old cold bases.. literally 25 minutes or less, $260 burnt, it didn't get get into the implementation, just wrote a ton of useless plans for the most part. It really opened my eyes to what they expect to charge people.. wayyyy overpriced.

  It’s crazy how different the credit cost and subscription cost are.
  With the $200 subscription, I can have Fable on ultracode working for hours and not dent the usage limits.

    VCs are footing the bill for that $200 subscription.

    At last, a valid usecase for VCs.
