I don't understand this token budget shit. Why would anyone, in their right mind, not be using Claude Max? All of the engineers at our org are using 6.25x and several heavy non-developers are as well. The rest of the company with licenses are using 1.25x.

I have hit my 6.25x limit exactly once in the last quarter.

I realize that we will all eventually be forced to pay more for this and I have raised it as a real possibility to the org for budgeting scenario planning; however, for now, why would you pay by token when it's subsidized?!

e: I now understand; you can stop downvoting.

In order to get enterprise agreement you need to pay per token for Claude.

Ah; I didn't realize there was a 150 person cap to Team and I suppose paying out the ear is worth it for compliance audit. Makes sense in that regard.

Anthropic (and maybe OpenAI?) have gated all the important enterprise features behind API plus pricing in the last quarter or two.

because they’re not; anthropic is pushing enterprises to switch to API/token pricing

For the code I generate and the limited way I am using it, Claude Sonnet is reliable and good.

I hope that I can someday run something very much like it locally.

The moment that happens, the AI industry is essentially useless to me. I don't need some ultra expensive "Totally better" model that does the exact same thing.
