I don't understand their api not being intended for individual use [0], are developers supposed to use this subscription only? The haiku model is pretty good for the price + available large context, and the opus/sonnet models are in the league of gpt-4, so I would have liked to pay for the api. I've moved on to llama 3 70B as a daily driver and it works really well! The only issue is it's small context size and it doesn't work great if you give it a lot of files to work with. Currently I'm forced to break down problems a lot more than I had to with gpt-4 or the claude models.

I know I can access the claude api through 3rd party sites + official partners, but there's no incentive to go through the trouble when llama 3 and gpt-4 apis work great for my use cases.
