From their mission statement:

> I also object to making myself and my work depend on paying a subscription fee to anyone. I don't want an outage at Anthropic to affect my ability to do my work. I think it is a grave mistake to build anything on such shaky foundations as the sustainability and profit margins of the AI industry.

Someone actually sensible, excellent.

That’s not the premise people are building on though.

Any particular model almost doesn’t matter at this point. Harnesses are built around them. OpenAI and Anthropic are basically interchangeable in an open-source harness like OpenCode; the switching cost is virtually zero. Local models are improving rapidly and are already “good enough” for many use cases already. The bet that LLMs will continue to exist as an algorithm is pretty solid.
