You're making the opposite argument. Anthropic is incentivized to use less tokens in Claude Code because people are paying a fixed monthly fee for subscriptions.

Nope, that’s not true, because they want you to pay for the higher subscription bracket.

Can confirm — they got me paying $100/mo this way.

Also I think it’s well known that OpenAI is the much less expensive option (in tokens and $$). For the same $20 you get a lot more mileage.

Curious if folks have strong opinions about the overall UX of OpenCode vs CC…

		For me as well, at least this month to use more of Fable. We'll see if they extend Fable access because of people like me.

Well since what you get for your subscription is unknown it would be trivial to get that result without burning tokens.

Especially since compute is such a scarce resource.

If they wanted to play games with sub tiers they would just change the rate limits rather than wasting inference.

Enterprise users are not paying a fixed fee, though

		Yeah, I strongly recommend against Claude Enterprise, it is ridiculously expensive and hard to control costs.
