Summary

  • Anthropic, the company that developed the AI chatbot Claude, has introduced a new high-end subscription tier, mirroring OpenAI’s $200 monthly ChatGPT Pro subscription but with a less expensive middle offering for subscribers who require more than the basic tier but not the top-end product.
  • The new “Max” offering comes as other AI companies search for sustainable business models to offset soaring development costs for running increasingly powerful large language models.
  • Anthropic’s new middle tier fills a critical “missing middle” solution for those who need more than the basic free or professional $20 tiers but don’t require an enterprise contract.
  • The $200 tier also offers subscribers early access to new features such as voice mode, which is expected to launch in the coming months and could transform how professionals engage with Claude.
