You absolutely can; they are not banning anymore. The bigger problem is that subscription versions of the models are way crappier than when the "same" model is hit via API (Bedrock/Vertex)

You can also make it not count against extra usage.

OpenCode docs show it because Anthropic specifically ambushed them with a PR to remove support so simpletons can't use it easily.

The opencode docs[0] still say otherwise, do you have a source?

I am curious about the claim that the subscription models are different. Has anyone benchmarked this?

maybe he meant about server-side features? otherwise its dumb. OAI and Anthropic are using azure/aws/gcp...

How does that work? Doesn't that mean Microsoft/Amazon/Google have full de facto access to OAI's and Anthropic's model weights and operational processes?

This is one reason it surprised me that Anthropic decided to run stuff on Musk's hardware. It seems overwhelmingly likely that the new Grok release is informed by what Musk has been able to learn from that relationship.

Do you have a source for that?

They aren't banning it anymore, they just make it count as "extra usage". e.g. you're paying for every token in addition to your subscription.

Further, the claim that the subscription "version" of the model is worse sounds like bullshit (and the sort of anecdotal nonsense that you see on sites like this). Do you have anything substantiating this?

This is not at all aligned with my experience. Do you have a source for this?
