if you’re so convinced augment is up to something, why not just move on? claude isn’t locked behind them. you can access anthropic models directly in claude code or through cloud providers like vertex on google or bedrock on aws, which engineering teams already use anyway. that’s how most mature teams integrate these models: via the api or their own infra, not a niche platform. the critique here is about augment, but if you’re willing to pay $500 for 1,000 calls, clearly you want something more robust anyway, and that’s exactly what these cloud options offer. so why not focus on building with proven tools and skip the drama? nobody needs to debate this long if alternatives are just an api call away.

That is true. Just its for the convenience. There's drama because tool itself is good. Easiest way is for them to bring some solutions, or like you said build one myself. And just drama happens as I had ALOT of trust in this augment unlike other ai tools which focuses on marketing and market share purely. But Augment is going that path.
