AI: It's Business and Personal in OpenAI/Anthropic pricing battles. RTZ #1048

Anthropic has officially discontinued subscription-based access to the open-source OpenClaw AI agents, citing unsustainable compute costs where heavy users generated up to $5,000 in daily API fees on a $200 monthly plan. The move has sparked controversy, with OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger—now at OpenAI—accusing Anthropic of waiting to copy specific open-source features before locking out competitors from their "all-you-can-eat" compute buffet.
