I'm at large company and pretty much everyone has settled on opus or sonnet 4.6. We would absolutely not allow something like OpenClaw on our network so your point kinda fits here where, if capacity is constrained, then by setting focus away from OpenClaw you're essentially prioritising the enterprise clients. Just spitballing of course

Yes exactly.

I doubt they actually want to do this.

They clearly see having a wide set of paying customers as valuable (otherwise they'd just raise prices) but if you are stuck having to make hard choice then I can see the attraction of this approach.

And where’s the difference between the Claude Desktop app and OpenClaw at this point? Anthropic have been hard at work porting the most important features. You can easily shoot yourself in the foot with both now.

    We have a legal contract with Anthropic

    OpenClaw and OpenCode are open source projects with zero warranty and nobody to sue if they have a npm Trojan in them

      When has any technology company been sued for pushing accidental malware in their updates?

      The reality is that you have never had anyone to sue.

      So you don’t use any other open source software at all then?

      The risk with OpenClaw et al isn't that the software itself is compromised. The risk is that what it does is fundamentally insecure and Claude Code isn't any better

    Claude Desktop is an Anthropic product, Openclaw is not (their founder works for OpenAI even).

    Anthropic wants you to use their subscription only for Anthropic products.

    I don’t think the difference is that difficult to see.

      Both teams ship at breakneck speed and both randomly regress. I don't see such a big difference. Claude now uses Claude by default to judge whether a tool call is sane or not. At least OC is transparent about the insanity of running bash commands unchecked.

      I guess parents point how dangerous OpenClaw is and that Claude Code is now similarly dangerous
