Even if you don't care about open source, you should care about all the obfuscation happening in the prompts/models being used by Cursor/Claude Code/etc. With everything hidden, you could be paying 200/mo and get served Haiku instead of Sonnet/Opus. Or you could be getting 1k tokens of your code inserted as context instead of 100k to save on inference costs.

so what? I care about the quality of the result. They can do that however they want

A more credible argument is security and privacy, but I couldn't care less if they're managing to be best in class using haiku

They made Claude Code available on their $20/month plan about two weeks ago. Your point still stands, of course.

If what they're serving me is Haiku, then give me more Haiku.
