To be clear, you can use Claude code with the $20 a month plan. You can even use something like opencode and a cheaper model paid by the token on openrouter. Or you can even run a local model like Gemma for ~free once you have the hardware.
Despite the name, it isn't really coding specific. I presume "Claude cowork" is largely the same as Claude code but with a name that doesn't scare the hos.
I do recognize the frustration that Claude can't look up the API details through the web interface. Perhaps there's some security considerations and they didn't want to have the . model call arbitrary endpoints.
As far as profitability goes, we shall only know when these companies IPO or go bust, but Anthropic revenue growth is massive.
Their revenue growth is massive to the point of suspicion, especially since they admitted that they're using unaudited internal numbers that don't use GAAP. Why wouldn't they be using GAAP? The only explanation is that the GAAP numbers are pretty crappy. In fact, we know they're crappy because in court filings Anthropic stated they made 5 billion in total GAAP revenue between 2023 and the end of last year. The huge numbers you see are annualized projections that aren't representative of any actual revenue.
Of course they are representative of some actual revenue. It's an annualized extrapolation of the past month of revenue. I don't deny that it doesn't mean that they made that $14B in the past year (but neither is anyone claiming it is), but it's not a random number as you seem to be suggesting. Huge growth in monthly income is real growth.
