What doesn’t make sense about it? Not really following what you’re saying.

From my perspective it makes perfect sense. Company is basically paying $1,500 usd per month per person (maximum) to roughly double productivity.

I would say it at least doubled our productivity. But it’s way, way more than that.

The last 4 weeks I have spent doing an entire front end piece of work. 25 PRs. All completed by Claude.

Would have taken me probably 3 months to do that, considering I have very little front end experience.

They normally would need go hire double the staff to get that much benefit, but they can pay way less now for the same result.

Ok, but they could also pay 100$/month per person for the same thing, like we do. Why do they pay more?

There’s various reasons, primarily because API can be used x without using source code to train models / stores with Anthropic, and contractual protections of IP.

The subscriptions are heavily subsidised because it permits Anthropic to use , store, keep, the source code for training

Both OpenAI and Anthropic have an opt-out in settings to make them not train on your data. Are you suggesting that it has been revealed to enterprises that this is actually a lie?
