April 7th, yesterday, the head of the Mimo teamRoosevelt(@LuoFuli) at X, yes Anthropic Recently, the third-party tool framework (harness) has been evaluated for access to Claude subscription services。
According to the information received, this directly affects the lobsterOpenClaw The AI Smart Development Tool that relies on Claude subscription interfaces。
Roosevelt pointed out that Claude Code's subscription mechanism itself was a well-designed calculator-balanced distribution system, but that the third-party framework came under much more stress than expected。
She gave the example of OpenClaw, detailing the serious deficiencies in its context management:
In processing individual user requests, OpenClaw triggers multiple rounds of low-value tools, each calling carrying a context window of more than 100,000 Token, which is wasteful even for impact caches and, in extreme cases, higher than the other requests ' failure rate. The actual number of requests is several times the original Claude Code framework, converted to API pricing, and the real cost may be dozens of times the subscription price。
She described the gap as "not a gap, but a pit."。
In response to the ban, Roosevelt believed that short-term pain was a positive pressure. When the third-party framework is forced to turn to API payments, the pressure of a massive increase in costs will push developers to improve context management, raise the prompt cache rate, reduce ineffective Token consumption, "the pain will eventually turn into engineering discipline."。
At the same time, she warned other large model manufacturers not to follow up blindly on price battles until the pricing model for the programming subscription plan had been clarified。
Selling Token at a low price while opening the door to a third-party framework seems user-friendly, but it's a trap -- Anthropic just climbed out of the pit。
SHE ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE LONG-TERM USE OF LOW-QUALITY AI SMART-BODY FRAMEWORKS, UNSTABLE REASONING SERVICES AND DOWNGRADING MODELS TO CONTROL COSTS WOULD ULTIMATELY FAIL TO ACCOMPLISH THE ACTUAL TASK, WHICH WAS A VICIOUS CIRCLE OF USER EXPERIENCE AND RETENTION。
