ANTHROPIC MADE A BIG MISTAKE

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Anthropic recently made a business blunder by closing a loophole that allowed customers to use their cheaper subscription models with popular third-party coding agents like OpenCode. This move alienated many paying customers who felt they were unjustly restricted from using a service they already purchased. OpenAI capitalized on this by officially supporting its own subscriptions within these same third-party agents.
