Anthrope launches a $ 200 Claude subscription

Anthrope announced on Wednesday that he is launching a new very expensive subscription plan for his Chatbot Claude: Max. An response to the chatgpt pro level of $ 200 per month of OpenAi, Max comes with higher use limits than the Subscription of Claude Pro of $ 20 per month of Anthrope, as well as the priority access to the models and characteristics of the most recent of the company.

A little confusingly, Max comes in two flavors with different price points and use limits. There is a maximum level of $ 100 per month with higher 5x rate limits than Claude Pro and a maximum option of $ 200 per month with higher 20x rate limits.

Ia Frontier model developers are looking for new ways to increase income, and sell to electrical users a expensive subscription of ai seems a promising way to do so. Only two months after launching Chatgpt Pro, Openai told investors Its annual income grew at $ 300 million. If Anthrope's new maximum plan has equally successful success, he could give the company a very necessary impulse.

Anthrope products leader Scott White told Techcrunch in an interview that the company is not ruling out the launch of even more expensive subscriptions someday. In particular, Anthrope still does not have an unlimited plan of use, which Operai offers with Chatgpt Pro.

When asked if Anthrope would ever consider launching a Claude plan of $ 500 per month, White said: “We will always maintain a series of exploratory options available to us.” Users' comments will continue to guide Anthrope's product route, he added.

To meet the massive costs of developing border models, Anthrope is exploring several new income channels, one of which is Claude for education. Claude for Education is aimed at university clients, providing specific skills and benefits for universities.

Anthrope refused to tell TechCrunch how many Claude subscriptions he has sold to date. However, White said that the new ai model of Sonnet Claude 3.7 of the company has created “much demand” for its products. Claude 3.7's sonnet is Anthrope's first reasoning model, a type of model that uses more computer power than traditional models to answer certain questions more reliably.
