用户对 Anthropic 的盈利模式表示担忧。他指出，如果按照 API 费率计算，他一个月的 Anthropic 使用费用接近 2500 美元，但实际支付的订阅费用仅为 100 美元左右。他质疑 Anthropic 能否长期维持这种补贴，并怀疑其 API 费率是否真的有利可图。…

30d usage at API rates would have been just shy of $2500 but I'm paying $100 USD ish (exchange rate depending). If we are to assume that the API rate is profitable for them (which I'm not entirely sure it is) then how long can they keep subsidising usage on the plans? How can they ever make this something even remotely profitable?
I can't see many people or businesses willing to pay that sort of money per developer. So we'll either all switch to local models or occasional cloud models to augment local models... either way the future IMO doesn't look great for Anthropic or OpenAI.
