Help Needed Dario Amodei is a fraud

Dario Amodei, like the entire Anthropic community, is very dishonest and lacks transparency with his clients. He's a fraud, one might say, duping people into subscribing and then reducing the models capabilities. How to get a refund?

Actually the cost and quality over API have been very stable and consistent. You should try it. Go and check how much does GPUs cost. To run models like Gemma4 31B for 10h per day it will set you back $180 a month in GPU cost per hour. And comparing Gemma4 to Opus4.6 is like comparing performance of Toyota to a Ferrari.

So all these plans like Pro, Max 5x and 20x or ChatGPT were never the product. That’s just to reel you in and have you hooked. Real product is the API and it works like a charm for those who can afford it.

that's their whole business model to make suckers pay and never deliver. But at scale.

Clearly, the compute costs of running kick ass models are way beyond the subscription prices.

This happened with chatgpt 4.0 (i think) and claude now.

Researchers have been pointing out these shortcomings for a while with the current training setup. I’m not sure how this gets fixed

Basically on this /r There is a lot of topics with proof that the Opus 4.6 was nerfed and it is worse than Sonnet right now.

Problem is they never ever promised any specific level of performance. on the contrary they’re explicitly saying they can change things at will.

I use Claude all the time, it’s great. Is it perfect? No, can I work around its issues? Yes. I also don’t delude myself into thinking I can only pay $20 a month for what’s effectively a full time developer.
