ANTHROPIC IS PREPARING FOR IPO AND WE SHOULD BE WORRIED

vincentschmalbach.com5 min read

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Anthropic seems to be getting ready for an IPO by making its access more restrictive, like limiting 'claude -p' and Agent SDK usage, and cutting off third-party tools and competitor APIs. These actions, plus their major $200M DoD deal, show Anthropic is moving away from its public-interest branding toward being a closed, monetization-focused company.
