Or they could just let people use their own harnesses again...

That wouldn't solve this problem.

And they do? That's what the API is.

The subscription always seemed clearly advertised for client usage, not general API usage, to me. I don't know why people are surprised after hacking the auth out of the client. (note in clients they can control prompting patterns for caching etc, it can be cheaper)

>>usef-+s1c
End users -- people who use harnesses -- have subscriptions so that makes no sense. General API usage is for production.

>>esafak+y2c
"Production" what?

The API is for using the model directly with your own tools. It can be in dev, or experiments, or anything.

Subscriptions are for using the apps Claude + code. That's what it always said when you sign up.

Production code, of course; deployed software. For when you need to make LLM calls.
