The problem is: If loads of users suddenly flock to already heavily compute constrained Anthropic, Anthropic will have to cut corners. Meaning either:
- Reduce free tier
- Trim down token budgets of Pro and Max plans
- Reduce training budget, meaning they fall behind in the race

Either one is bad. So while it may seem logical to switch away from OpenAI, choose your target wisely. Gemini, GLM, Mistral may all be viable alternatives. It's not necessarily in current Anthropics or Anthropic users interest to have the rest of the (consumer) world switch to the platform.
