alt Hacker NewsSo this is how they’ll remove access from Claude Pro to the biggest models. You would need at least a Claude Max subscription for the bigger than Opus models I bet.

Its amazing how quickly ive just become accustomed to being a max subscriber. I dont think I could go back to pro.

They have already been experimenting with such ideas [1]:

Anthropic's wants to sell us Claude Code with no model selection at all.
Opus seems to be overly eager of late to 'vibe' out entire solutions and build out things that you didn't ask for.
/goals is helping set the narrative that does it really matter if Sonnet and 3 Haiku agents got you to that end state...eventually...if its what you asked for?
For better or worse Opus is already handing off 80% of its work to background agents of Sonnet, Haiku, and likely a quantized Opus.
