OpenAI and the Chinese companies let you all you can eat openly. Anthropic's lead vs OAI is slight and these things are going to homogenize quickly. The market is going open and the people trying to keep it closed are just generating ill will pointlessly.

You say this, but I guarantee that when they do offer a plan similar to Google/Anthropic's dedicated coding "unlimited" subscription, they will do the exact same thing. Maybe they will let OpenClaw in as a first party because of their partnership with the creator.
OpenClaw is a massive liability. Regardless of the creator's employment, OpenAI is not dumb enough to officially release a ticking PR bomb like that. I don't know what they'll do with the creator, I guess pump him for ideas and keep him off the streets. (Simply telling him to design out the same thing in a form that is releasable should be enough to keep him quiet for a good long time.)
OpenClaw doesn't need the creator in order to continue to be a reputation risk nightmare for all of the AI companies, though.
Where does Anthropic offer an "unlimited" subscription? All of the plans mentioned on https://claude.com/pricing have limits, same as usage of Codex on OpenAI's ChatGPT subscription plans. If Google forgot to actually enforce a rate limit (that they do mention on https://antigravity.google/pricing) on theirs, that sounds like a huge oversight.
But none of these are unlimited, that was never the expectation. It's a flat rate for a flat (but hidden) amount of usage. What's disgusting is that they want the good parts of subs (low usage subs), but then just ban the bad parts (high usage people). I don't care whether that's technically possible, it's incredibly scummy.
hmm? openAI has a $200 subscription too.

So what are they supposed to do?
Race to burn as much cash as possible in hopes that the other goes bankrupt first?
These models aren't profitable at the fixed subscription tiers.
That is the plan yes.
> Race to burn as much cash as possible in hopes that the other goes bankrupt first?
This has been standard in the VC playbook for the last decade or so. The only moat these companies have is the size of their war chests.
Likely we'll just move to the Chinese models.
