News Summary

Anthropic has announced the launch of its Max Plan, a new subscription tier for its Claude chatbot. The Max Plan offers two pricing options, allowing users to choose between a $100 per month subscription with 5x the usage limits of the existing Pro plan, or a $200 per month subscription with 20x the usage. This new tier was introduced in response to the high demand for Claude 3.7 Sonnet, a model particularly adept at coding tasks. Subscribers to the Max Plan will also enjoy priority access to new models and capabilities as they are released by Anthropic. Despite the increased access, there are still restrictions on ‘very compute-intensive’ features, similar to the limitations found in OpenAI’s $200 per month Pro plan.
