News Summary

Anthropic has announced changes to its pricing structure for Claude Code subscribers, affecting those using the OpenClaw tool. Subscribers are now required to pay extra for using OpenClaw and other third-party tools, moving from a subscription-based model to a pay-as-you-go option. This decision comes after OpenClaw’s creator, Peter Steinberger, joined OpenAI, allowing OpenClaw to continue as an open-source project with OpenAI’s support. The change is part of Anthropic’s strategy to manage growth sustainably and clarify usage policies for third-party tools. Despite concerns, Anthropic remains supportive of open-source initiatives.
