So this is how they’ll remove access from Claude Pro to the biggest models. You would need at least a Claude Max subscription for the bigger than Opus models I bet.

Anthropic's wants to sell us Claude Code with no model selection at all.
Opus seems to be overly eager of late to 'vibe' out entire solutions and build out things that you didn't ask for.
/goals is helping set the narrative that does it really matter if Sonnet and 3 Haiku agents got you to that end state...eventually...if its what you asked for?
For better or worse Opus is already handing off 80% of its work to background agents of Sonnet, Haiku, and likely a quantized Opus.
Want model selection? Pay for the API.
Just tell it to always use opus for subagents and it does.
This. I added that instruction the first and last time I was gaslit by an underpowered subagent.
Its amazing how quickly ive just become accustomed to being a max subscriber. I dont think I could go back to pro.
Then max+, then ultra, then ultra pro
As long as they provide the same utility / $ I don’t see why not. It’s not like the open weight models are that far behind and Claude code itself shouldn’t be very hard for the commmunity to replicate if Anthropic start acting up too much.
They have already been experimenting with such ideas [1]:
