Three events this month, one story: - Anthropic cut third-party harnesses off Claude subscriptions - Their own $200 Max plan burns out in minutes of real coding - simonw's 21GB local Qwen beat Opus 4.7 on his benchmark The model layer and the harness layer are splitting.

Recently, we purchased one of each Anthropic/OpenAI subscription plan and randomly ran long horizon coding tasks until we exhausted the weekly limit. It's widely believed that a $200/month plan maxes out at ~$2000/month worth of tokens (assuming API pricing). However, we found… pic.twitter.com/1e0zFhbFuo— SemiAnalysis (@SemiAnalysis_) June 10, 2026
