"OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger faced a temporary suspension from Anthropic, which was quickly reversed after public outcry. The incident raised questions about the future of OpenClaw's compatibility with Anthropic's models."
"Anthropic announced that subscriptions to Claude would no longer cover third-party harnesses like OpenClaw, leading to a new payment structure based on usage. This change was attributed to the compute-intensive nature of claws."
"Steinberger expressed skepticism about Anthropic's reasoning for the pricing change, suggesting that the timing of the ban and new rules coincided with Anthropic's development of similar features in their own closed harness."
Peter Steinberger's account was temporarily suspended by Anthropic over 'suspicious' activity but was quickly reinstated. This incident followed Anthropic's announcement that subscriptions to Claude would no longer cover third-party tools like OpenClaw, requiring separate payments based on usage. Anthropic justified this change by stating that claws are more compute-intensive. Steinberger criticized the timing of the changes, suggesting that Anthropic's actions may be an attempt to limit open-source tools while promoting their own offerings.
