Summary: Anthropic, a California-based artificial intelligence company, has recently introduced a new subscription tier called Max, priced at $200 per month. This option offers users significantly increased usage capabilities compared to the existing plans. Anthropic ranks among the top ten AI companies and has developed a successful line of models known as Claude. The company is engaged in innovative projects, including the development of an AI model that can control computers autonomously.
Currently, Anthropic offers a Pro plan that provides access to more sophisticated features and models for $20 a month or $200 a year, which is comparable to plans offered by companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. The emergence of the Max plan highlights a growing demand for higher usage limits, as more users turn to AI for business applications and extensive projects. The new Max subscription aims to meet this need, offering an impressive five times the rate limit of the Pro plan, making it especially appealing for power users who frequently reach their usage caps. Interestingly, there are two tiers within the Max plan, both sharing the same name.
The first option delivers the 5x rate limit for $100 a month. However, for those requiring even greater access, the second option provides an extraordinary 20x usage for $200 a month. This is reminiscent of the unlimited usage offered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT Pro plan introduced last year. While the Max plan may appear to be a bargain, it is important to note that it still comes with certain limitations.
Prospective users interested in exploring the Max plan can sign up directly through Anthropic’s website.
