> [consumer] ToS states it cannot be used for commercial purposes

Where? I searched https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms for commercial and the only thing I can see is

> Evaluation and Additional Services. In some cases, we may permit you to evaluate our Services for a limited time or with limited functionality. Use of our Services for evaluation purposes are for your personal, non-commercial use only.

All that says to me is don't abuse free trials for commercial use.

The terms in Europe are different:

> These Terms apply to you if you are a consumer who is resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland. You are a consumer if you are acting wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession in using our Services.

> Non-commercial use only. You agree that you will not use our Services for any commercial or business purposes
