Artificial intelligence unicorn Anthropic has recently eliminated the developers' previous concerns about changes in platform policies through clear official policies. The company officially confirmed that Claude Max and the team plan to provide users with monthly API quotas that can be directly used in Claude Agent SDK, Claude -p commands, Claude API, Claude Managed Agents, and all third-party applications that utilize related technologies.
This initiative completely broke the long-standing deadlock in the large model application ecosystem, where “dual charging for users and developers” existed. It officially established the BYOS (Bring Your Own Subscription) model, where users only need to subscribe once and can use various third-party tools without additional payment. At the same time, developers no longer have to bear the high costs of API calls, allowing them to focus entirely on product innovation.
Industry analysts believe that Anthropic’s move binds the interests of global developers with its own ecosystem, using the large developer ecosystem to thrive its Agent ecosystem. This open policy is regarded as the “App Store Open Moment” in the era of large models. It is expected to further drive the competition in the second half of the large model era into an ecosystem race, and generate numerous innovative Agent applications based on Claude.
