News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Exactly your point. Anthropic is subsidizing their own tools to keep people on their platform. What's wrong with that?

Tokens and these agents(Claude Code/cowork/claude.ai) are separate from model tokens, and they want to discount for their own product usage.

The subscription they sell is a package of these products, not tokens. They never sell token subscriptions, so why do we need to relate tokens with the subscription? Fundamentally, they never meant to sell token usage in that subscription, similar to any other SaaS company trying to sell API usage.

This is how 81,000 people are using AI, real stories!!

Anthropic put out a really cool report yesterday. They talked to 81k Claude users across many countries and just asked them straight up, what's AI actually doing in your life.

This honestly some of these stories are really good.

A mute person in Ukraine built a text-to-speech bot with Claude and can now talk to friends in near real time.

A healthcare worker in the US says she finally has patience for her nurses because AI handles all the documentation.

This data is gold and can help others figure out better use cases.

I went ahead and extracted quotes and put together into a dataset if anyone wants to play with it.

I am sorry about that and thanks for correcting me.
