Hmm interesting, wonder how Anthropic and OpenAI make money. Subscriptions perhaps?

It's glib, but allegedly they are losing money on those. Certainly compared to what they'd be getting with their usage-based pricing.

Unless you mean people are forgetting to use the maximum amount every month, or forgetting to cancel?

Are Anthropic and OpenAI the only entities permitted to charge for their work in this brave new world?

Someone should tell the vibe coders because the vast majority posted here seem to include poorly considered subscription plans.
